TPI gaskets

Is there a cheaper place to get TPI gaskets than from the dealer? I need them all, runners, throttle body etc..

Thanks, I didnt think the parts stores would have them, I guess I should have at least called. Do they have the little plastic pieces on them that hold them in place?

The Fel-Pro set has the retainer nipples to hold them into the base and runners during assembly, yes.

gaskets

Just how well do you like the Auto Zone gaskets? I have been told that they are actually FelPro. Anyone using ROL???? They are a lot cheaper than most, American made..... are they any good. I see them on ebay often.

I called Autozone to see if they had them in stock and I also asked what kind they were and they said they were Fel-Pro.

I got FELPRO for mine, and I had to shave some material off because they were restrictiong flow... The holes in the gaskets were smaller than the holes in the runners
