Sentra Headgasket difference between02/2002 and 07/2002andup

[emiliog2276]

Seems I am due for a headgasket change. I am trying to buy the parts from the dealer they have the headgasket kit from 07/2002 and up for 80 bucks while they are telling me the kit for mine since it was manufactured in 02/2002 is 252 bucks. I am confused since if i go with the alternative which is autozone the kit from 2001-2006 is the same. Its the same story with the headbolts they want $35 for the 07/2002 and up while the ones for a 02/2002 they want $66 for the sent. Vehicle is a 2002 Nissan sentra gxe 1.8L california clean air version.

Thanks.

Wow I have no idea what the differences are. Did you tell them about the Autozone part being the same for all years?

[emiliog2276]

Yup, they weren't to interested in telling me anything else they just said that, that was that part number and thats the price.

Did you by any chance find out the brand of Autozones gasket?
