You prolly know the ebay story. I would just go through a well known company.

i've bought their head gasket kits and it still holding up til since last year of sept on my LS 8D.. and it all depends on who you buy it from though. But for me on ebay i always check there reputations before bidding or buying. just a suggestion

I've had good results with pistons, rings, and bearings. You can get acl's and king pretty cheap on there. But I would go with felpro gaskets if your not going with oem. Always Check their feedback and go with a power seller...
