i'm about to buy a complete gasket set for my d16y8, it's cost is $76, but, are the head gasket, valve seals and head bolts good for install?

How are we supposed to know? Especially since Ebay isn't a brand. So what brand is it?

doctorake

OEM only for gaskets

I would stick to oem as well, especially if its your DD and your abuser...You dont want any surprises after you go through installing it all...IMO

sleepyaccord96

ebay gaskets will come in a hunter/emerald green packing which if i am not misteaking the brand is evergreen...

^ super low quality and good god o'mighty i would NEVER EVER install those on any of my or a customers vehicle. Only asking for problems with garbage parts such as the said ebay gasket and or gasket set

Fel pro is ok. OEM is best. Golden eagle makes fantastic head gaskets

DCRB

oem or felpro headgasket. your headgasket isn't a 15 minute quick fix, so why do it twice?

Golden eagle modifies oem head gaskets

sleepyaccord96

sleepyaccord96

You're wasting your time and money.

azahel

No, they don't.

OEM or I had good luck with felpro gaskets in the past.
Head bolts ARP ONLY

OP - if your really thinking of a build---get off ebay and start looking for quality parts. Trying to save a buck here and there is going to destroy it.
