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 :P

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...
