for gasket set, go with rabidchimp man. He's decent priced, local, and dependable.

I bought a set from there about 5-6 months ago for a friend and replaced the head gasket and all other gaskets. When I saw everything was paper, I was thinking just like you "it'll work". Less than a month later, my friend calls me up and tells me his car is in the shop and they said the head gasket blew. At first I didn't believe it, but when I saw the gasket, pure crap! So I needed one for my supra and I went to Toyota and got OEM. Costed me $400, but I know it's good quality

I bought a set from Mizumo as well, head gasket blew the next day. The holes for the dowel pins did not line up right, and no copper ring around the coolant passages like OEM. Injector O rings and grommets are nowhere near the right size. Return it if you can. Other parts they sold like pistons rings and bushings are OK and fast shipping, they pick a wrong vendor for the gasket set for sure.

E-mail them and if they don't want to help you out just leave a negative feed back. I once purchase something on e-bay and it was not origial and poor so i hit them where it hurt them more. Feedback. you might loose some money but if they are being a**holes about it they will end up loosing too.
