What brand head gasket should i get

My trucks a 90 4x4 pickup with the 22re and has a blow head gasket. I've been shopping around and still am not sure what gasket set I should get. I have been considering lce engineerings but haven't been able to find any customer reviews on their head gasket set. I also have been thinking of spending the extra money and getting a toyota one but I really don't know where to buy one. Any past experience or advice would be appreciated.

I have an 82 Pickup with a 22r that needs a new head gasket. I ordered a complete engine gasket set straight from Toyota. I knew it would cover everything I would need and be a quality set of gaskets.

There is a top end gasket kit from toyota that has all the gaskets you need. Go to toyotapartseast.com, type in your vin, and be your own parts guy. Its 25% off list price.

I got the Valve grind it from Toyota. It had all the gaskets and seals to do the heads(3vz). Wasn't that expensive considering all that it comes with.

I used the Valve Grind kit from Toyota and Beck Arnley head bolts. I recommend them both.
