Cometic Head Gaskets @ Good Price

Hello guys,

Since rare are the ones checking the Vendor/Group Buy sections, I decided to annouce this thing here without a group buy format or anything...

I have been talking to a supplier for Cometic Head Gaskets for our EG33 and he offered a very sweet price, around $50 saving in both gaskets. If anybody is interested just call/email and ask for Nick with reference to our website. Details:

- Company: Atomic Speedware
- Website: www.atomicspeedware.com
- Owner: Nick Arias III
- Phone: 805 552 0808
- Aim: na3atomic
- ICQ: 285309851
- CG P/N: C4340-066
- Price: US$ 113.97 EACH + Ship.

N-joy......

Cruisen_15 showed me a place where they are cheaper, I'm not sure about it. If it falls through I'll gladly buy from them.

Re: Cometic Head Gaskets @ Good Price

Cool, show us where you can get them cheaper than this.

I do not earn anything for my pocket out of this. It has been mentioned a lot of times that they cost between 130 and 140 each. I am just announcing that I found a supplier with a cheaper price.

I've been trading emails with Nick over the last year or two. He also has forged pistons for the EG33.

Re: Cometic Head Gaskets @ Good Price

Jason, did you try to contact these suppliers? Maybe their websites are not updated.

Once I bought a PWR Rad for $350 when the market price was $520. In an hour I got refunded with an apology.

Re: Cometic Head Gaskets @ Good Price

The new design Cometic head gaskets for the SVX are now .066" in thickness. They are now composed of 5 layers and Cometic did this to provide better sealing capabilities.

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

Re: Cometic Head Gaskets @ Good Price

Here is the vendor I had found, offering them for less than $70.00 each

http://www.speedagency.com/cometic/c...5/i-58152.aspx

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.
