Thanks for the replies. I have to admit that I am surprised that the MP gaskets are that good. I was expecting Cometic with the top vote. I will check with my local parts stores to see if they can get the MP gasket set for me. Thanks again!

Kent, Thanks allot for the Monicatti suggestion. I had never heard of them and I went to their web sight and I bought the gasket set for the $48.45 + $15 shipping. I am still waiting on delivery estimate. My local stores could not find the gaskets in stock. Summit shows them in stock today but not yesterday and they were at the $60 mark. My local Dodge dealership could not even find a set any closer than 6 states away and they showed a history of back order issues. Thank you again!! I love this site

I received the "581" gaskets today. I was surprised to see that they are .18" thick and they come with bolts and special washers. Thanks again for your help with the part number.
Does 40 in/lbs sound correct for the torque spec?
