I just want to know what you guys (and gals) think about these sets. I am looking for honest opinions and none of that "Well I heard...". Thanks!

That's not a full gasket set. That's just for the head. There's no timing plate to engine gaskets, rear main seal & gasket, oil pump seal, front crank seal, and others. That set pictured looks to be a 7mge set as well. Also, I garuntee you won't be using the head gasket in that set. If you order a stocker from Toyota you'll be looking at around $75. I chose not to use the valve seals, rear main gasket, timing plate gaskets, and any other gasket that would require pulling the engine back out just incase that gasket would fail. If I could do it all over again I would have just called Champion Toyota, or Elmhurst Toyota and ordered a full set from them. By the time you replace the gaskets you won't use from that cheap set with good toyota quality ones you might as well have bought at full Toyota set.

I don't know anything about those piston rings. You could always be our guinea pig and let us know how they perform.
