        Im looking for "Personal preference from experience". ie You bought the gasket kit,and you like the quality. Or you bought the gasket kit,and it has poor quality. I know about RA & Chibay. Thx-

              I always buy Fel-Pro. I've used them for years with zero service issues. The only time I stray away from Fel-Pro is if it's for a car running boost or nitrous, then I usually go with a Cometic head gasket. Other than that it's Fel-Pro all the way. I've found on the Mazda motors that you'll typically come out cheaper buying just the gaskets you need rather than the full set.

                X2 on the pieceing together the kit you need, just stick with Fel-Pro and your good.

                  Thanks a bunch guys! I'm gonna heed your advice with the Felpro. And since I'm working on two engines. I might buy one complete set. Then piece meal the other gaskets. That way I should have the o rings & misc small stuff if I need it. Thanks again

                    To my knowledge Fel Pro doesn't offer a full kit. I've searched every catalog I could find looking for a part number or listing with no luck. What they offer is a head gasket set with all of the top end gaskets for ~$100 and whats called a conversion gasket set that has all of the bottom end gaskets for ~$50. If you buy just the gaskets you need it should be around $90-$100 for everything depending on which engine you have.

                    What are the engines you're rebuilding?

                      LOL,I just found this out. Looks like DNJ is the only one who makes a complete set. I'm working on 94 Aspire 1.3L. Does the conversion have the water/oil pump gaskets? Becasue I already have Cam,Dizzy,Valve cover seals. I saw that "Conversion set",and just blew past it cuz I didnt know what it meant.

                        The conversion set does come with the water pump and oil pump gaskets but you also get a water pump gasket with a new water pump (which I highly recommend installing if you're doing a rebuild). Also, you get the oil pump and pickup tube gaskets when you purchase the front crankshaft seal kit..which is only $8 for that engine

                          Do you see a Aspire Conversion PN? I see the Festy not the Aspire.

                            It should be Fel Pro part # CS96913 for the Aspire.
