Next it cost me just under $13 to ship them to Jersey from Georgia regular FedEx!!! Man I thought the gaskets were overpriced then I saw the shipping charges and I was like

Anyway hope everyone is good. Going to bed.
Good job getting the proper gaskets. I'm sure this will be your last time you spend under your car changing a blown gasket.

You guys in the U.S. have it good. Shipping to Canada would be at least double that price, then FedEx would add another $40 in brokerage, duties, taxes, and misc fees.

Yeah, that would be the best. As it stands now, I have a minimum 4 hour one way trip to a Canada/U.S. border It just means that I have to be more savvy with how and where I buy my parts. Having said that, 100% of my parts have be purchased from U.S. based stores.

Yeah, I'm going to check them out for my clutch install. It's even harder to find competent people to work on these cars in Ontario. I've heard good things about AMS.

I wonder why it costs so much? If you ask me, I think it's a buncha malarkey.
