MSRP is always a joke, when you see MSRP think of it as the price that the manufacturer WISHES their product would sell for if there was no competition and people wanted it really badly, and umm, the product could get them instantly laid or something miraculous like that ;o)

But in all seriousness, it looks decent, I don't know about using a "no-name" head-gasket, although I do not recgonize this brand, it doesn't mean that it's a "no-name" brand

Personally, can't beat the price.
