Yes victor reinz. Good stuff for a fuse. Broken pistons are no fun.

Mike at FT is showing a Sealed Power gasket set. Maybe one of the guys can shed some light on it.

NOS4GN, that one is what came stock? Would that be good enough for running 25 LB boost?

VR are the ones that came from the factory.  I don't like the felpros as the fire ring seems weaker than it used to be.

Here is a VR source.  http://www.weberpowerproducts.com/victor-reinz-turbo-buick-head-gaskets-p/vic-3797.htm

draw straws and buy the ones that comes up, I guess

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I got mine from mike at ft in a set with all the stuff except the intake valley pan. I got that local. I would call him and see if he has the victor reinz. I'm not to keen on a sealed power gasket, as I've not used one.

Steve...52 bucks with the exchange rate and shipping...dep ending on where Weber is...would prolly come in around 100 to 120. My trans parts from CK and the puck from RJC...took 2 weeks to get here. If we use UPS...then they throw their own charge on it. I've had their shipping be damn near as much as the part. Exchange rate...shippin g rate...and wait time for parts is ludicrous up here.

Here's a UPS example. Chris' wife accidently shipped my 120 dollar trans part with UPS. When it arrived, I had to fork out 120 for shipping with them at the door...and that's after I paid shipping from there.

Exchange + 13% sales tax.

I have about $2000 US in parts waiting in NY, it is going to cost me 2900 CDN to bring it home, plus gas and toll charges. Yup.  Good times.

Aren't we allowed $600? per day now? Last few times I went to BPG I said I had $500-$800 in parts & they just sent me along my way. I guess the catch is staying 24 hours?
