What does it cost for a gasket kit for intake manafold head gaskets and so on? Surely some of u guys have done it urselves!

A VRS Gasket kit ( Tin) would cost about $120.
Should have everything you need.
Both head gaskets, 2 rocker cover gaskets, inlet manifold gaskets, therostat cover gastek and a few other things.
Exhaust gaskets are extra usually, some ppls just disconnect the exhaust flange only therefore avioding replacing the 8 exhaust port gaskets.

Yeah ok not bad thanks for that rovernaut! I have never bought this stuff before, do you recomend a certain parts shop? eg. bursons, or repco?

thanks

Went down to repco and got a price for a gasket kit from the heads up and they wanted $260ish!!!!!! IS THIS REALISTIC?

I have emailed bursons to see what they have got! So will have to wait and see.

Has anyone on this board purchased a kit like this?,Cost?, Supplier?

Sorry looking for something a bit closer! like in my state!

Dont wanna pay postage when i dont have too!

Have you tried http://www.british4wd.com/ it will probably be less even with postage. Repco in my opinion are very expensive I have used british4wd before and they are very helpful and usually cheaper than anywhere else. Rangie spares are in Vic from memory. Do a search through Yahoo or Google you will find what you need. For every expensive quote you get in relation to Rangie parts you will always find it a lot cheaper if you look around.

Try Graham Cooper in Sydney ( www.lrexpert.com.au )
