best headgasket kit for ea82t

Featured Replies

i need a new headgasket, is fel-pro the go 2? has anyone had good luck with others?

I've had good luck with fel pro for the non turbo EA82s.

For the intake gaskets, and o rings for the oil passages, dealer only.

 

Fel-Pro seems to work OK for the head gaskets. The rest of the gaskets they include are garbage and you need to get those from the dealer.

what he said - FP headgaskets, the rest from dealer.  the FP kit won't have the reinforced metal orings for the lower corner of the cam carrier, or none that I've ever seen have it anyway.  

intake manifold, tstat, water pump, exhaust are all better quality from dealer.  sometimes I might use FP valve cover gaskets but mostly just because if they do fail again it's just a minor oil leak and they're easy to replace.  i don't want that risk or work load for intake mani or coolant.
