cylinder head gasket set - what concern should I choose?

[Camry-rulez]

Hi. I'm just repleacing my cylinder head gasket, and I whant to know what concern is making good gaskets, (I mean the hole set) I'm asking because I am from Poland and here cost's a set about 370 dolars. And I see that in the USA it cost about 130 - 200 dolars.
I not from Amerika , Can you alsow tell me (some links) to shops that are selling that kind of gaskets.

If you've got the 3VZFE motor, I've read that you should go ahead and just use Toyota gaskets. They are supposed to have been redesigned to solve the problem of head gasket leaks on this motor. Here's a link to some that I've found pretty cheap: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...93&catalogid=1

I suggest www.racepages.com. I once buy there a head gasket and til now, its still working nice for my car.

The thing about international shipping is keep the head gaskets straight and undamaged. That might be hard. I'd just buy the head gaskets from the local dealer and new head bolts too. However, if you can source Fel-Pro products reliably then that would be another choice.

I would go with OEM/Toyota parts on this. price is not always the best factor when buying such crucial things (you don't want to repeat this job anytime soon do you?).

in USA you can get best oem prices online from online toyota dealers (they are also local dealers, just hiding themselves hehe) via trademotion.com platform.

I come from Poland too, so i know a few ways of getting things shipped over there.

best way to buy is first to check for part number at toyodiy.com/parts (give it VIN number of your car) and search for "head gasket", it will give you listing of parts (don't bother with their prices, outdated usually).

then using this part number(s) check prices with either of online dealer for best price match (all are new OEM), e.g.
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=215498 they offer good prices and discounted domestic US shipping - this one is located in the East Coast (Charlotte, NC), quick shipping to Jersey or NYC.
or
https://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/part_number_search.html - this one is located on the West Coast (Tacoma, WA) so it takes good 2 weeks for parts to show up on the East Coast. keep that in mind.

then you order that part from either of online dealers using shipping forwarder (local US address of freight company) to Europe (e.g. http://www.shiptu.com/shopping-in-usa.html or ) which will forward the part to Poland for a small fee easy?

that way it's original quality at prices way better then European. if you need it quick then you would have to buy locally.

good luck bro
