Gasket Replacement Question!

I am in the process of installing the LSJ intake manifold and M62 on my 2.4 and am curious as to where the best place on or offline is to purchase replacement gaskets for both the IM and the supercharger. I believe there is only 2 needed, but I'd have to check again to be sure.

PS: Not trying to get ripped off on shipping prices either. Every penny counts!

There was a member selling the S/C-I/M gaskets very cheap recently, I bought two just in case. The intaket to cyl head gasket is under $10 new last time I checked.

CED wants $12 for shipping which is just more than I think is reasonable for gaskets.

If dealership bound then I'm looking for the 05-07 2.0 IM & S/C gaskets? Just so I know what to ask for specifically.

its not unreasonable...... to package and all that stuff costs money. just to ship a stupid letter ups is like the same price.

yeah intake manifold gasket, supercharger to manifold gasket and might as well replace the intake pcv valve too.

OEM parts from a dealer is probably the best. I've ordered a few from ZZP and haven't had any issues yet.

We are probably about the only dealer in the country with them in stock.

Go ahead and order them from me and I will handle the shipping for you.
