Recently bought my new motor (from a 95 supra with 88k) and I'm about to start rebuilding it for the swap.

Would anyone suggest a kit other than the 1.3mm kit that xs has? I've seen alot of feedback from people who just got done with the swap but none from a year or 2 later.
Are the gaskets good quality? I'm sure they aren't Toyota quality but the Toyota kit is double the price. Would anyone suggest spending the extra cash on the oem kit and just finding a 1.3mm head gasket, or is the xs kit good to go?

Rule of thumb:
Headgasket, exhaustgaskets and crankshaft seals should always be OEM/Toyota

The rest you can use whatever Brand you prefer.

Stock Headgasket is steel reinforced for a reason, many cheaper kits deliver non-reinforced gaskets,and you definetly dont want to re-do that one...
