Hi all, I'm tearing down the engine to replace the Head gasket on my new car. ITs a 89' GTA with the 5.7 liter. Basically I got a steal on it because the head gasket was blown. I figure since i"m going to have the engine apart I might as well replace all of the gaskets while I"m at it. Can anyone point me good gasket set for the exhaust manifolds on up?

I'm new to engines, and the Chiltons manual isn't being very helpful so I have to ask for help alot. I'm not doing it by myself(thank ***) because I've never really torn into a engine before. But my Uncle has worked on cars for a long time. Since this is my car, I want to go get the parts and all that. I NEED to learn how to take car of this car beyond the regular maintinance like Oil changes and such...since I already do that for my 93' Escort.

 

if the motor's gonna be stock, go to autozone, napa or the closest thing to those and get the fel-pro set. It's a cheap price for OEM gaskets. (Fel-Pro usually supplies all gaskets that I know of to the factory.)

i've eve got a complete motor set i'll sell ya, unopened for $125 shipped.

let me know

Napa quoted me $89. I don't exactly have alot to spend right now. I had to buy school books/supplies and it cost me about $600 for everything. I pretty much decimated my savings for this car. Whatever is left is there for emergency's on my daily driver. Can't have them brakes go out on me, and then not have the cash to even buy the parts for it.

My goal is to get the car back on teh road within two weeks. My time to work on teh car is limited to sundays, so It'll probalby take a few weeks start to finish. One day to tear it apart, a few more while the heads are machined, then I have to wait for the next sunday to roll around so I could put it back together with my Uncle.

I wish I had a few days straight during the week to do it, it could be done faster that way.

Hell fake Z, you wouldn't even have to ship it. Your close enough that I could come by and pick it up.

Where exactly are you in shaumburg?
