I prefer spending the extra $ and get OEM seals, think about the time/frustration factor of replacing a faulty seal vs the money saved.

It's ironic that you say you are going to listen to us and follow that by saying you will use the felpro set..

Why does fel-pro suck that bad? I only need it for like the oil pan set, VC set, and both manifolds, they dont stock much else. All the other little ones (valve stems, cam seals, etc.) ill buy from mitsu or dsmotorsports or somewhere else that stocks them. Im only using fel-pro for the bigger sets and no not the HG.

the oem kit will include all of those, except the oil pan gasket, oem says to use silicon.

fel pro is GARBAGE for dsm's
i used a felpro set on my car in a pinch a few years ago. every gasket blew over the next 2 years. intake, exhaust, valve cover...

their head gaskets seal for 30 days max

your oil pan has no gasket to replace.

stop being an asshole and buy a mitsu set

But i like being an asshole. I mean besides my car only has like 148k miles and the exhaust manifold gasket already started leaking on me. Pff, you call that quality. :roll:
