http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-75-80-Celica-Pickup-Corona-20R-Full-Gasket-Set-TFS20R-/130620716052?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e6999f414&vxp=mtr
Toyota 75-80 Celica Pickup Corona 20R Full Gasket Set TFS20R - $45.00

I'm just concerned on the quality of the gaskets. Any other options out there? I need a few so it only makes sense to buy a full set.

I'm currently at work, but I sent him an e-mail earlier. Thanks for the heads up

I would double check with Engnbldr first. I've personally used Ted's (engnbldr) gaskets and I can tell you that they are definitely high quality and the kit is COMPLETE. Email him or call, he's very helpful.

If he doesn't have the 20R gasket set then definitely go with LCE. NEVER buy stuff like this off of eBay, you never know what you'll get (unless it is from engnbldr since he puts some of his products on eBay)

Yes, for something that is so (relatively) cheap, and so very important, I would not gamble on deals like that.

The only time to buy discounted parts anywhere, but especially on ebay, is when you know who the manufacturer is. If you know the parts, but see they're discounted, ok. But don't go looking for the cheapest kit you can find on the internet.

At that price, I'd rather pay triple from the dealership than get gaskets of unknown quality.
