Default Re: Head Gaskets?

Guys stock gaskets work just fine.
A while back i talked to a major Gasket company.

They want $25-$30k for tooling and $5 each gasket all we need is right hand gasket it will work for both just need to cut the oil hole.

So if we order 1000 gaskets 500 sets it comes out to $35 each gasket.
After that they will cost $10 a set.

I brought this up a while ago but fell on deaf ears so i stocked up on head gaskets.
I also had expressed concern on bearings a while back also fell on deaf ears then the whiners came out cause they had to pay almost $1k for bearings that cost $15 to produce.

So for those that are interested raise your hands.

Otherwise you will be paying $500-$1000 for gaskets from the other guy and i don't wanna hear the whiners.

I have plenty heads gaskets for
(1) last me 2 life times
or
(2) make me lots of money

I think MLS will work with the closed deck but majority of LT5's are open deck the other question is who will test them,i don't think any of the boys here will test them on there big $$$ closed decks.
