Are the Rol gaskets just as good as the Felpro or you get what you pay for?

Felpro / Head Gasket
7918PT-1 $17.99
Rol / Head Gasket
HG31050 $10.99

Depends on what you are trying to do. Stock motor and flat surfaces? FelPro probably not worth it. FP is a better gasket though, IMHO.

Does $7.00 in your pocket mean the difference between survival and death?

If not, this question of Fel-Pro vs. Rol does not need to be asked.

If so, you have bigger problems than needing a head gasket. :lol:

No, it means I'm on disability and $7 could go toward some rear brakes. :o

The Rol makes very inexpensive, poor quality gaskets......I have had massive leaks and everything was surfaced. I have spent way too much time trying to correct for such a simple item. Fel-Pro gaskets are the minimum I would use. The Aussie gaskets would be worth waiting for.
I would hate to have some else go through what I have gone through..............
