  • Quality of Gasket Sets

    I am replacing all the gaskets in the engine I am about to put into my 91 Festie. I notice on Rock Auto manufacturers of complete engine gasket kits are ITM, Auto 7, DNJ and Sealed Power. In the past I have used Fel-Pro or Victor Reinz but do not see a complete set by either of the two. Has anyone had any experience with any of these gasket sets?

    I'm not familiar with any of them except Sealed Power. I've used their piston rings in the past on several engines. I had good luck with them.
    Even though they are more expensive, I'd go with the Sealed Power kit. Just my personal opinion and what I would use if it were my engine.

            I'll throw my vote in for Sealed Power too, thats what I usually use. Thought when I rebuilt the Aspire motor in Green Car the only ones that were in stock were the DNJ. Very cheap, and seem to be holding up fine after about 20k.
            No festiva for me ATM...
