Where to buy gaskets?

[trailshredder]

I am getting ready to do upper and lower intake gaskets, valve cover and injector rings. Anyone have any recommendations on where to get them from? Brands to get or stay away from? Anyone sell a complete set of everything needed?

GM.

Everything.

I bought a complete set from autozone and it ran me about 160 ish. IT was the complete upper gasket set.

Anyone have the gm numbers for the Lower Intake Gasket and valve cover gasket?

I'm looking for the part number on the newest alum set.

Got everything order from rockauto. Most parts were ac/declo. Lower was fel-pro. Going to tackle this weekend.

Fel-Pro makes an all aluminum LIM gasket now? I hope so, for your sake.

LIM needs to be GM else it will still be plastic IRRC

Oh ****! Guess Since it said 2nd design, I assumed! We all know where assumming gets us! :th_nervous:

Ok, educate me .... Is GM the only one that makes an Aluminum LIM gasket? Do I just ask for one for an 04 or later 3.8 or did it replace the series II gasket also? Anyone have a part number?

I got mt LIM and UIM gaskets from ZZP. They were the new metal gaskets.

 

[OH4CompG]

Fel pro's 2nd design lim gasket is also plastic. I ordered all my gaskets from zzp when I I'd mine because I had a bunch of other stuff I was getting at the same time.

OK, did some digging and discovered that the part number from GM is 89017816 for the aluminum gasket. This is the same part number for all seriesII and seriesIII 3800's. 97-08.
