alittle cheaper..

AutoZone's price is $71.99, and that's about as cheap as you're going to find them. An online vendor saving you $2 really isn't when you factor in shipping.

you get the 6 plug well gaskets and two valvecover gaskets. Its what they cost to eliminate a big well leakage problem.

Reuse them. I have never had a problem reusing the old gaskets & plug seals. The key is to remove them carefully, get them clean & dry- no oil residue, and use the proper sealer. I use Permatex ultra black., it seems to be a good product for this application.

Last time I went, they were $88.99 or $89.99

if you reuse your old ones, you better be sure that they are in mint condition, and you have some super-duper gasket maker/sealant. i redid mine in summertime, my gaskets had some small cracking in there, but i thought the permatex black gasket maker would solve that...wrong. they were leaking the next week, albiet not as badly. i ended up breaking down and buying the gaskets at canadian tire (canada, for $140), and so yeah.

will prolly have to get new intake gaskets too. and its wise to clean the intake while its off. and new plugs wires, and vacuum hoses if you feel necissary
