Hello!
I am thinking about buying one of those complete gasket/repair sets from ebay, which are offered at a good price and come with everything you need to change almost every gasket on the engine, but I am not really sure if they are good enough and if they won't just fail on the second month.
My D16Z6 is a stock engine with about 200 000 miles on it. The head gasket is broken and it burns oil, at a slow rate, but it does. So I am thinking that it is time for some repairs.
This is one of those kits I am talking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1149793197
and another one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140630057911?ss ... 1438.l2649
It is cheap and I wonder if it would hold. I am not going to be tuning the engine, but I don't want to hold back on giving it some hard time from time to time when I feel like it.
I checked out the price of an OEM head gasket kit and it is high - about $180, and it doesn't include bearings or oil pan gaskets.
If you have any advice on what sets are proven to be of quality please do share.
I appreciate your help in advance!
