What gasket are you talking about?

Headgaskets? If so I would not touch the factory installed gasket untill you have to.

I agree with Turbo-Archie. I would not touch the factory head gaskets unless you have problems with them. With the proper tune and fuel they will support 500+ RWHP.

I see you are new.
Can you give a real short explaination of what you are working with?
I would work around the factory gaskets. I just did.

yes this is my first turbo motor so I just want to do it right.the motor im getting has a real light rod knock,im gonna do a crank kit and change a few rods or all rods depending the motor is dam near free and im on a tight tight budget so im putting a stock drivetrain in my 85 limited once its up and running ill do some up grades but thats not for a year or so. I just wondered if theres a better gasket manufacturer or should I just buy from autozone and not worry about it
