I have found a billion "complete" gasket kits. But I think this one looks like it actually is complete. Can someone verify that there isnt a gasket missing. I would like to replace every gasket on the motor. The only thing I dont notice right away are freeze plugs, but those I can get anywhere. Anyway, thanks for looking.

That looks good by me. One thing that i dont recognise is the oil pump to front cover gasket. I know this set is for the DE and my experience is solely with the E, so just make sure you got one. Other than that, looks real good.

I wish i could ahold of just that U-shaped gasket, the rear main seal plate gasket. Nissan doesnt show it takes a gasket, but when i replace my rear main (and upgrade the flywheel) pretty soon, i'd rather not use silicone.

You havea gasket repeated, the one that goes between upper and lower manifold.Otherwise, seems quite complete to me.

do main seals typically some with gasket sets? I don't see one, but I could be over looking it.

Is that thick O the rear main seal? I think you get the front main when you get a timing chain kit. But I dont know for shure I havnt worked on too many ka's.

The large thick O is the rear mail seal, the smaller one below it is the front main seal, and the large, upside down U gasket near the top is for the rear main seal plate.

It is a complete set, also there is one that I don't recognize that looks like a 4 bolt t3 flange from a chrysler. Also, the DE has the oil pump in the front cover, so there is no seal other than the timing cover seal, or as I call it, RTV.

well if you are gettin all that, just the headgasket kit costs like $115(with tax), the pistons are another $100 or more, then you are gettin the main/rod bearings.

that price sounds about right.

that should handle 300rwhp daily so long as your tune is fine.
