Contact Mr Revhead in new zealand - get yourself a GENUINE full gasket set
I'm looking at getting a complete gasket set as I'm rebuilding my engine at the moment but so far I have only seen ACL ones.
What do people think of using a ACL head gaskets?
Can anyone reccommend other brands that stock complete gasket sets. Even just VRS sets that are good would be nice to know.
I've used a Toyota HG and a Crossfire HG and they both worked pretty well, although Toyota's was much better quality.

ive done two one about 3 months ago, one about 18 months ago and i pulled down an engine about 6 months ago that had one in it and all 3 had the hole in the wrong spot.. some love with a file to open it up a little and she is sweet.. infact im sure it works just fine like it is as the engine i pulled down had it in the wrong spot (only half opens up over a water gallery) and worked fine. but compared to thte toyota one it is about 2-3mm out of place.
contact Mr Revhead... seriously.

Well, as long as it doesn't cost as much as my entire engine work it should be good
Thanks guys

nup mr revheads price on gaskets kits is awesome
i know 2jzgte VRS kit costs $700.
the 2jz kit is probably about 3-4 times as much as the 4age kit.
I priced one up from Mr Revhead a year or two ago - was round the $200 from memory

I had my engine reconditioned using an ACL head gasket kit. Failed on me 10months later. Just put in a genuine one. They are much better quality just by looking at them.
Could have been heaps of things - poorly maintained cooling system, corroded head, overheating, detonation, poor assembly, etc etc etc etc etcI had my engine reconditioned using an ACL head gasket kit.

I'm sorry but you can't just flatly blame the gasket kit.
Must.... avoid.... urge... to... upgrade... parts I haven't.... used.... yet.....
I got over 100,000 km out of the ACL gasket kit in my old 2TG with not one leak anywhere on the engine. I sold the engine quite some time ago and it's still getting around so I would assume at least 150,000km+.

Im using a ACL gasket on my 7MGTE, and touch wood, its still holding out 6 months later at 10psi boost... there was absolutly no problems with the gasket...
Also installed one on a 1st gen 3SGE about 2 months ago, and it seems to be working fine...
