    Hi guys,

    I have a 2000 GTP and I'm changing out the piston rings in my car and decided to change out all the gaskets as well. My problem is that here in Dubai parts are not that easily available (I would like to not order online because of time constraints) and the gasket kits available are only for GT N/A cars. Now I know that the supercharger gasket will be missing, but otherwise are the gaskets from a GT N/A car and a GTP compatible?

    If some gaskets are not, does anyone know which ones?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    EDIT: I should mention that I'm changing all the gaskets in the engine (what here they call upper and lower gasket kits).

    your talking about the head gasket right?
    im pretty sure the head gaskets are the same for S/C and N/A but im not positive
    i know you will need to get new head bolts because your not suppose to reuse your old ones because they are stretched from being torqued down

    Thanks gtpeddie. Not just the head gaskets. I'm changing the head gaskets, water intake gaskets, valve stem seals, oil pan gasket, LIM gasket, fuel injector o rings all the way to...everything.

    Thanks for the input! Luckily the gasket kits are Felpro and come with the head bolts too so I'll make sure of that.

    Cheers dude!

    Should all be the same. There's likely different listings...but the heads etc are the same except where the injector pocket is or isn't.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Glad to have your input Bill. Since you and gtpeddie pretty much said they would match I'm confident that this will work out properly. Thanks a lot again guys.

    If I find out anything to the contrary I'll post here again. Cheers!
