I'm curious if anyone has ANY knowledge of these guys. They have RIDICULOUSLY cheap stuff.

Head gasket set for $50
Valve cover gasket set for $9.20.

I don't want to be the first to find out this stuff sucks..

Maybe they are used??? Timing belt for under $10....Yikes...Too cheap to be good, but then again auto parts have huge markups. Could be trying to go low gross margin but high volume profits like Walmart

Well I decided to be a mini-guinea pig on this company. I ordered up a Valve cover gasket set. Haven't installed it as of yet, but by the looks of it, it looks decent! (Y)

It has a Fel-Pro number on it, VS50434R. I looked it up and low and behold it actually comes up as the part for DSM's Tongue

The package it came in also said "Rock Gasket" on it? Never heard of that...

I figure this one is a half ass safe gasket to try it out on, and it's easy enough to change out if it does fail...
