Oem gasket set
hey all,
Unfortunately ive reached to a point that my engine's heads are twisted (2000, 126700mi), all of my cooling system components are new (radiator, thermostat, water pump, coolant etc) and the mechanic didnt find and leaks, when we spun the engine by hand you could see bubbles from the reserve coolant tank, porbably fromer owners heated up the engine.. so i need to buy a gasket set, now ive found couple after market once (domestic gasket, ITM gasket) on ebay\amazon. the question if they will do the work or should i order OEM/Genuine, and where can i find genuine gaskets?
Thanks

Some will say yes to OEM, and some will say it does not matter. The story is, where are the OEM ones made? OEM's always out source for some of their parts, so buying the off brand ones may be exactly the same outfit that makes them for the OEM. I'm sure Felpro makes 1UZFE gaskets.
