Question on a 12HT gasket kit (1 Viewer)

[CenTXFJ60]

Curious if there’s any feedback on this gasket kit. I’m building up a long block that someone else put together with this kit. I have a complete Toyota gasket kit but really don’t want to break it down unless there’s good reason to. Thanks. Jimmy.
Copying @BigHighBlue as he know the guy that built this engine.

Many use them in Australia. Good reviews. Keaton used similar for his 2H build. Good quality. Has not run the motor yet

I bought the same kit.

It works well, they used cork gaskets for all the necessary parts.

When I installed them, I ran the engine and there were no leaks. Would buy from them again.

If you look in the right places you can get genuine kits at quite a reasonable price - 04111-68031

Yes sir. I have several kits with that part # unopened in my shop. I picked up this 62 with a bad 12HT so I’m doing a swap with this rebuilt long block (in the background).

Looks like I’ll be pulling the oil pan at a minimum. Looking through the bolt organizer the PO gave us I found 4 piston oilers. The good news is he was very meticulous about labeling and organizing everything, but the bad news is there’s 4 of these in the bin. Communicating with him he’s not able to explain why there are 4 left over after closing up the block. My hope was he would say he replaced them for whatever reason. Sent him these pics and waiting for his response. The pic of an oiler in the block is one I tore down a few months ago.

Pulled the pan and great news….all 6 oilers are in there. Still scratching my head as to why there’s 4 in the nut and bolt organizer. And the internals look great. Gonna touch up the paint and close her back up. Hope to get most the externals on this weekend.
