Re: Cometic Head Gaskets @ Good Price

I tried many of the suppliers who offered lower prices. They did not have them in stock and said it would be 4-6 weeks before they got them from Cometic anyway.

Cometic makes them to order and it takes 3 business days to make them up and ship them.

The old design has been discontinued and the new ones are 137.74 each. The P/N is C4340-066

One of their disclaimers is that they are not responsible for incorrect pricing on their website or typographical errors. They have the right to cancel any order with the incorrect price or to honor it with the correct price.

See the bottom of the webpage. "Errors in typographical content, pricing and photography are subject to correction and may change without notice"

Ok I emailed Nick about the serial number of the cometics and this was his answer:

"Hi Dan-
Here is the listing in the COMETIC 2009 price sheet:

C4340-066 SUB SVX EJ33 MOTOR 98MM .066" MLS HEAD 1992-97


Their list price is $137.74. I can offer the same gasket to you for $113.97.



Thank You,

Nick Arias 3rd"


So again guys, whoever wants these gaskets, Nick is offering them at a great price.
