Head Gasket Set Question
I finally got my head. It was a steal. I got an'05 head with only 62k on it for $187. Checks out good, its super clean and will be going on as is.
Autozone has two head gasket sets listed on their website. One is the fel-pro for $150
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...38776_124585_0_
and the other is a Victor Reinz for less than half $69.99
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...ier=135396_0_0_
Would there be any reason to NOT get the $69.99 kit?
I dont see what the Fel-Pro kit could possibly do to justify the price doubling. Its not like it comes with the head bolts or anything.
...Also, is it necessary to replace the head bolts. I plan to, but if they should be Ok I may just skip them.
