Review on πŸ”© HSHB9012 Cylinder Head Gasket Set Head Bolt for Evergreen Engines by Louis Asok

Revainrating 1 out of 5

EDIT PADS ARE AVAILABLE AFTER 2 YEARS! The kit is missing important parts. Don't waste money!

*EDIT* 11/29/18 I installed this kit in December 2016 and it failed in 2 years. Installed by a professional in a machine shop by routing the heads. Original Rating: Completely unimpressed. The kit contains gaskets for 2 different engines. Turbo ej255 and non-turbo ej253. Instead of asking you what engine you have and giving you a full kit, he just throws you a bunch of useless gaskets that you can't use and that end up confusing you. All the smaller o-rings and gaskets you see in the picture come in one pack only, unmarked and you will need to compare sizes, diameters and thicknesses to determine which goes where. Since it is a "complete kit", many important seals are missing. . Front main seal. Rear main seal. Gasket water pump. Actually all the gaskets on the back of the engine. Even though you ordered this kit for your turbocharged Subaru (this kit I ordered wasn't for one) it doesn't even come with all the gaskets you need for it. 2 rear cam seals are missing. Timing belt cover foam gaskets suck and are just straight pieces of foam that don't stick and you have to bend and shape them to fit. You get 2 sets of valve cover gaskets. To me they both look the same. So other kits are not suitable for turbo. They give you TGV seals if you have a turbo. But graphite is of rather poor quality. Mine ripped when I opened the bag. I noticed that the kit is missing. There are better kits. The money you save isn't worth the extra time and escalation.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
