LB7 who offers best Head Gaskets in a kit??

[kubitza123]

Well mine rig now needs head gaskets , guess I need to buy a Toyota so I got something I can drive while I work on my Duramax all the time.

Who makes the best head gaskets? If I can get them in a set with Arp studs great let me know where . If not I'll buy separate .

Alliant power , i use them in all my 6.0 stud jobs and they sell a stud kit right around 899 so its not a bad price and they have a warranty, they leak no problem no questions, just new gaskets

Put gmLml gaskets on it with studs or new bolts. Depending on power level and goals bolts are fine.

Many dealers cab set you up.

I have my own lift at home, easier to pull the cab or engine to work on???

I have a bad back and no way I'm fighting it leaning under the hood to do it.

Lift the cab. Removing the engine is way more work in my opinion.

We can help you out here with Grade C LML gaskets, and ARP studs. In stock ready to ship! Let me know if I can help.

Cheapest way I have found is order lml gaskets from Rock auto or amazon and get 2 mahle/Victor rienz bolt kits and a HG install gasket kit from Victor/Mahle also. That will give you all gaskets and silicone you will need. There may be some fasteners like the fuel return rail bolts you may need to replace.
Total price of about 350 give or take.

I forgot you guys offered this.

This is the way to go!

I learned gasket kits are a waste of money.

I'll give you a call Brent , I'll be replacing #8 injector as well since it's slightly off.

^X2 have to agree. I haven’t been around very long but lds is very competitive with this. Or like bac said piece it togather yourself and hope it works. Glw doing the gaskets.

 

[Brent@LDS]

Sounds great! We will get you taken care of! Thanks

 

[TheBac]

Glad you're going to use a supporting vendor.

 

[kubitza123]

I got my last injector from Brent and great to deal with so he earned my business, just forgot they offered other parts since most post involve injectors .

 

[Brent@LDS]
