Speedway Motors... they mainly cater to circle track guys and old street rods...but the deal for the gaskets cant be beat...At least from what Ive seen...

I wouldn't trust cheap head gaskets...but valve cover gaskets, hell, those are easy.....sounds like a good deal to me.

Trust me I would not run a cheap anything..The difference here is that your not paying to have MR gasket imprinted on them... Stainless stell with RUBBER coating is just THAT...no matter what the manufacturer charges....
I spare no expense on my motor...Its just having bought a 40 dollar set of MR gasket ones and then seeing these and buying a set and realizing they are the same thing...kind of pisses you off..Ive had these on my vette for over a year with no problems removed the covers twice and reused them...no problems......NOW we will see this year how they handle 30PSI of boost...
For head gaskets I agree..I never go cheap...BUT IM WILLING To pay LESS for the same thing... Typically Speedway sells the fel PRO gaskets CHEAPER than summit or jegs...id say 80% of the time..When building this turbo motor I bought 90% of the gaskets FEL PRO from speedway...there were 2 gaskets that summit and jegs were cheaper on so I bought them from Summit..

Took your advice and grabbed these gaskets. Unfortunately it seems to have done nothing for my leak. I even tried using some permatex form-a-gasket on the bottom corner.

hmmmm... yea I'm only leaking from one side. not a drip from the passenger side but it's pouring out the driver side. I have nice new cast aluminum covers and I spent a long time looking them over last time they were off. How would you check if it's warped ??
