Hey,

 

So, I'll be changing my heads and obviously the gaskets, I'm looking at this gasket kit from the US, seems like a good deal to me -

Can anything think of anything else I might need? I know there's half moon seals at the back of the cams, but can't see these in the set, do I re-use these or do I need new ones?

 

Other than the water pump gasket (and maybe sump seals?) in this photo, I'm not sure what the other gaskets are, but guessing it will make sense when I pull the heads -

 

 

Cheers

My thoughts....

 

.....Import duty, freight costs, potential for unreliable service etc..... Best to buy the OEM Nissan kit from a UK trader; MJP, Jimmer, take your pick:cool:

Import duty is included in the price, as is shipping. So just under £65 all in. Customs could still decide to do their thing I suppose. Surely Nissan OEM, or even the traders will be way more expensive? Really, all I actually want (I think!) is the cam cover gaskets and the head gaskets (and maybe the moon seals), but alone these have been working out the price of the set.

£83 and in the UK, they do other gaskets as well.

Cheers, I saw that afterwards and it seemed like the better option. There's no difference gasket wise with TT gaskets?

 

I've messaged MJP (or at least I think I have, so many different sites!) for a price, but I'm very tempted to go with the one above.

 

Cheers!

The price alone is a big enough clue as to the quality of those gaskets. Don't waste your time, fit oem gaskets or at least a good branded aftermarket gasket set.

I agree, use OEM gaskets.
