Cheap 60k parts on clearance, good news or bad news?

[NoSlo]

Check out this order I just made on rockauto. There are lots of SHO parts on closeout for 1/3 the normal price. Valve cover gasket/plug set $120->$32, water pump $70->$30, cam seals 60 cents each. I didn't need it, but intake/plenum set is also cheap.



That's like the cheapest these 60k parts have ever been, so a good time to do everything your car needs! However it also sounds like bad news in the future if parts are getting taken out of other's inventory and clearanced at rockauto...as if it wasn't already hard enough to keep the SHO going.

BTW, this is a tip for SHO owners, not resellers to buy it all and mark it up. I'll be ****** off at somebody if all these deals are instantly sold out...

Rockauto also has Fram Air Hog air filters for less than the paper ones

Thanks for the heads up. Valve cover gasket set is a particularly good deal. Not sure about that WP; I have had poor luck with rebuilt ones, but others have done okay with them. Hope the clearance prices don't mean the end of SHO parts at RockAuto.

I bought almost every part cheaper thru eBay/Amazon/Google.....

Good price to find it all in one place for sure!

Oil pan gasket? Really?

Oil pan gasket? Really?

Why? Would you just make the whole gasket out of RTV?

Rock auto puts SHO parts on clearance yearly, at least. I've been getting those emails for the last five years.

Yeah, two rubber seals and a small tube of black RTV. Bought one recently from SHO SOURCE.

This is but one more nail in the SHO coffin!
