Head Gasket Set

[Jonesy200]

Hey all Iv just had my cylinder head rebuilt on my is200. Iv purchased a complete asket kit for a reasonable £80. Bit dissapointed as the rocker gasket and manifold gasket dont ft. I was just a bit concerned about the main head gasket. It fits but just concerned on quality etc as i dnt want to put it back together and goes again in a few weeks. It looks fine. Is it just a case of fit it and hope lol?

You've done all that work stripping the head, don't put a second rate HG on there. Just call the dealer and get an OEM HG. I can't imagine it would be very expensive. That's my opinion anyway mate :)

That's the same company that sells the cheap and nasty Upper Control Arms for the LS400, the ball joint boot tends to fall to bits in months.

If the gasket set is of the same, probably Chinese quality, I wouldn't like to risk any of the parts.

A Lexus OEM cylinder head gasket is under £30.00 Part No. 11115-70061

Try Lexus Birmingham eBay shop. Failing that call a Toyota/Lexus dealer and get them to post it to you. That's how I get my parts :)
