So just heard from the shop, my DII indeed has blown a HG

The rover shop I went to told me that I should look on ebay for a HG kit because prices have decreased dramatically. I asked if they were any good at $100 for the kit and they said they hadn't heard anything bad.

I'm wondering if anyone has any first hand experience using these kits as I don't think the gaskets are Victor Reinz. There is multiple brans available for around 80-120 bucks. One called BECK/ARNLEY and of course Allmakes. Any opinions?

 

Someone just posted a link in a different thread for a Victor Reinz kit for under $100.

 

With head bolts? I know you can get the gasket set for around $100 but the kits on ebay include head bolts with them too for around $100

 

If you want low prices and good quality, as well as great service.
Lucky8 is where to buy

 

No, not with head bolts.
Personally I wouldn't trust a kit that included bolts if it was that cheap. Maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn't. And maybe it wouldn't have all the pieces you needed.

 

$85 at Lucky8 with bolts free shipping in the lower 48

Yeah, see that's the same kit thats on ebay. If Lucky8 is selling it you think it's a good kit? I'm already buying their front driveshaft so it makes sense for me to throw this kit on there too if it's not junk.

 

Call Lucky8 for a better deal.
I've spent alot of money on parts from them in the last several months. Can't say enough good about them or their parts.
Had I not found them, I think I would have sold the Rover quick, as everyone else's prices are ridiculous.

 

I used an eBay kit three years ago. It wasn't from L8, but I haven't had any issues. I'd definitely recommend the cheap kits, but for sure call Lucky 8 and order from them. They might also have a forum member discount if you ask. They do on most items.

 

Just did it! Thanks, they hooked me up with a good price on the whole kit. Just said I needed to make sure and have the heads machine (planning on it anyway).
