All you need are the cam seals, front and rear main seals and the oil pump drive seal. The only cut gaskets you need are the exhasust and intake manifold ones. EVERYTHING else can be done with "the right stuff" or similar sealer. (And if you use sealant everywhere a gasket went, you will never, ever have an oil or coolant leak at those points. Ever.) I've also used the sealant to make sure the TB does not leak, no problems yet, just don't use very much of it. (Thin is good when you have a close, flat metal to metal seal.)

I got the eBay set for like $75, and it was alright...the only problems that I saw were that the TB gasket was waaaay too small, I had to modify it, and the exhaust gaskets are absolute crap, as is the head gasket (duh) and the cam seals didn't fit.

Does anyone else advocate using no solid gaskets, just silicone? That kinda bothers me...can this be done?
