Most any D2 part is pretty cheap...it's the fact that 10 to 32 things tend to go bad all at once, and all those cheap parts add up to expensive, lol

Make sure that the valve cover gaskets are molded. They are 100 times easier to install than the floppy crappie cheapies that the rings fall out of like rain. I used Fel-pro and loved them, these may be just as good.

Call Lucky8, those guys are awesome...and give discounts to forum members.
The guys that take the orders know the trucks too, as in what you're going to need for the job.
