I cant seem to find a gasket set for my rebuild?.. does anyone sell a complete set?..

I can find individual gaskets just not the set.

Is there anything more that I need that this?

Head Gaskets (Does it matter than im 30/1000's over?) (also, Can I use somehting small to raise compression alittle, its a 383 so I dont know)
Exhaust Header Gasket (Does It matter that I have Pacesetters?)
Front Timing Cover Gasket
Optispark seal
Crank seal
Water Pump Drive Seal
Throttle Body Gasket (what size is stock?)
Valve Cover Gaskets
Water Pump Gaskets

What can I reuse?.. Oil pan gasket is rubber and in good shape so I assume I can reuse that. I didnt check but I bet the valve cover gaskets are rubber and reusable?


am I misshing anything.

I am ordering threw jegs, so if anyone can find a gasket set there that would be great, otherwise I can order form anywhere.

Thanks

Thanks

 

All head gaskets are 4.125 for the lt1, so your fine there. The valve cover gaskets are rubber. Last time I pulled the valve cover, I did not replace the gasket.

 

Autozone has them for like $125 I think, under "Head Gasket Set."

 

You will probably come out cheaper by buying only what you need.

 

Thats not a bad price for that set. As Shoebox suggested, people have saved money by buying them seperately.

 

the cheapes I can find a autozone is 209.. I think I will buy only what I need. Am I missing any? Also, is there any brands I should get?

Need:
Head Gasket Set = $44.99 (Mr.Gasket)
Intake Manifold Set = $17.99 (Spectre)
Exhaust Flange Gaskets = $14.99 (Percys)
Throttle Body Gaskets Kit = $10.99 (BBK)
Water Pump Gaskets = $1.99 (FelPro)
Rear Main Seal = $21.99 (FelPro)
Timing Cover Gasket = $9.99 (OEM)
OptiSpark Seal = $12.50 (OEM)
H2O Pump Drive Seal= $11.50 (OEM)

$146.93







DONT NEED:
EGR Gaskets (Deleted, Bought Block Off Plates)
Oil Pan (Rubber)
Valve Cover (Rubber)

 

Not sure why you don't need an oil pan gasket if you are doing a complete rebuild. You should always replace it. There was a post not long ago that had a link to a pan set that included pan and all timing cover and water pump gaskets & more and was a bargain. It could save you some money.

I ordered everyhthing except the valve cover gaskets. and saved about $30 or so, not bad, but it was about 30 mirs of searching for best prices and finding everyrthing I need, it was worth it.
