3.0 Head Gasket

I am in the process of buying a head gasket set, which company do you recommend? Ebay? Thanks in advanced for the help and insights.

OEM (Toyota) is good but I'd assume expensive, heard good things about Felpro (Federal Mogul ?) which is what I'm using on my 22RE engine.

The best I've heard of (other than Toyota) is from ENGNBLDR (I think that's how it's spelled). Do a search on here for more info. When I did mine, that's the kit I used and had no problems.

im a mechanic for toyota and i have 3vz also and just had the same problem ..i used felpro the first time and some other off brand the second time then the 3rd and final time i used toyota gaskets ..toyota updated there head gaskets and i have yet to have a problem with the OEM Gaskets so now if i ever have any engine prblem with a toyota engine i wont use anything but OEM gaskets they may be more expensive but its better to do it right the first time ..also replace head bolts when you do head gaskets
