Where did you buy your intake gasket from?

Damn things are expensive I thought I was getting a set from carparts.com but it turned out to be only one, and for $54 . The dealer price is around $90 (I think thats each).

Have any of you guys reused the original. Personally I think its not a good idea b/c the slightest vacuum leak with F things up. The original is made of something like 3/16 steel (god damnnn). I wish I new that earlier when I did the injectors b/c I was right there and could have gotten to the knock sensor in another ten minutes, but I didnt know what kind of gasket at the time.

I need to get this job done soon, so I can go ahead with the UDP development with Unorthodox. Anyone know where to buy them from cheap, unfortunatley felpro does not make them .

I don't remember any of the intake gaskets costing quite that much when I tore into my engine. Just try all the discount Nissan places, ie.. tacoma nissan, tustin, brown & brown etc...

on gaskets that close to the internals on our engine, I would only recommend OEM.

you've got to pay to play.

call courtesy. they weren't $90 each. you can buy an entire top end rebuild kit for $200, including ALL the gaskets you'll need to pull the heads.
