Howdy...Next weekend I will be replacing the four top-end gaskets on my Sami (camshaft cover, intake, exhaust, and the head gaskets). I've been calling around for prices and have found all four for under $90.00. I was wondering if anyone has had experience (good or bad) with different brands and if there is a certain brand that is more preferable. I searched the board and found plenty of head gasket info, but nothing about brands. Thanks in advance for any info... Colin

p.s. It's an '86 1.3

fel pro is a hard name to beat go with them. but you should also replace the main seal,cam seal,and timing belt why you have it all apart it just take a fue ext. min. I havew built lots of 1.3 sammi motors and i always use them

Stay away from the cheap ones, there's a couple head gaskets that sell for $10-15, I went thru 3 before paying $50 for a Felpro and my motor hasn't leaked since.
