Hope this is the right area to post this.....I just found out that my s14sr has a blown head gasket and have pretty much decided on the cometic hg, but i figured since the car would be down/apart for a while that I might as well replace all the gaskets....my question is are aftermarket gaskets worth it for anything other than the head...they sell a complete gasket set on ebay for approx 200.00...now I'm pretty sure that the oem hg is not gonna hold up when I get to my goal (300whp) so thats why I want the cometic but what about the rest...oh yeah my gasket budget is no more than 250.00..('gasket budget' now that sounds stupid:) )

The HG is the big one that needs replacing on the SR. I would also consider replacing the valve cover gasket, and the turbo gaskets. I've also been told replacing the spark plug seals is a good idea, but not absolutely necessary. I think you would probably be all right with just the HG replaced at first for 300hp, and the others when you had the extra $$.
