Hey Guys
What is the best gasket for the best price?
I've got Fel-Pro, Corteco, Beck/Arnley, and of course Toyota
Corteco Gaskets seem to be about $20USD cheaper than Fel-Pro.
I'm looking at the intake manifold & plenum gaskets

 

i always used felpro ans never had a issue

 

I definately don't want to sacrafice quality over price. I'd rather have something cost more and work rather than something fail shortly down the road. I've used fel-pro quite abit - except for the cork oil pan gaskets - they leak like crazy - I just use silicone

 

Factory. Period.
I know a few members on here who have had problems/ major issues with fel-pro. Fel-pro is not as good as they used to be

 

The engnbldr.com kits are good.

 

i have a fel pro valve cover gasket on my truck with no issues so far, i get a discount at napa so i went there, i usually always go for oem gaskets though but it was way easier for me to go to napa and have it in my hand that day. oem parts are manufactured by the company for the company cant go wrong with them.

 

I got a felpro plenum gasket today. It seems pretty good. Its a graphite/fiber mix and it seems pretty sturdy. We'll see what happens. The Toyota one that is on there now is a paper gasket and its seeping pretty bad. Of course it hasn't been changed in 100k miles

 

as with most auto parts felpro has 3 different grades of gaskets, fair, good, and premium. I owned and operated a mech. shop until Big Bay Lake dam broke and carried it down river and we had best luck with felpro premium. this topic is a lot like who likes jeep, toyota, ford, etc.

 

ive had no problems with my fel-pros they are fairly cheap too

 

lol yeah this is a lot like who likes jeep, yota, ford, gm...
Still haven't put the gaskets on. I got the plenum gasket, but did not get the intake manifold gasket (going to check my knock sensor while I'm down there, getting some spark knock with 93 octane and no timing advance). hopefully I can return the plenum and just get the intake set...
