Parts advice please!

#1 Post by tedmcedd »

Hello all!

Where do people get parts from? I'm after a head gasket set for my 1500... there seems to be a few around, all at different prices, so its got me wondering, is there a difference? a preferred supplier? some better than others??

Thanks in advance!

For head gaskets there is a big difference, there's Payen gaskets and then there's junk. Whoever you go for don't just tick a box online, call them and make sure you get a Payen gasket. Wins don't stock anything else.

Did you get the entire head set? You'll need the manifold and rocker cover gaskets as well. If you need any help I'm not too far away...
