    Six Star head gaskets are a coated aftermarket MLS gasket. They cost a few dollars more than OEM gaskets. I have had no experience with them, but as long as the job is done right you shouldn't have any problems. Ask him if he warranty's any of his work or the parts. Probably not, but can't hurt to ask.

    Perfect! Honestly, it sounds like a steal of a deal to me. Hopefully he's a standup guy that does good work and stands by it!

    I'm just hoping the person following me down does not bail on me. 2 hour drive there then he said it would be about 3 days for him to get it done.

    I'm glad everything worked out for you! If I am ever in need of an EJ22 gasket kit, I will definitely let you know.

    the guy that put in the engine told me they would work with 2.5s N/A since the valve covers identical but no bites on any of the 5 forums i have them listed haha thanks!
