I find that 90% of the gaskets in there are good enough to use on the rebuild. However; I typically order the head gasket separately and of higher quality since they are very important and the ones in these kits usually aren't the greatest.

I agree with Rage. I sell both kits at my job, and most of my shops who order from us will get a Vesrah kit and order either a Cometic or OEM head gasket to supplement the kit.
