Pulling heads off my 2017 5.7. Im seeing gasket kits with a wide range of pricing. Any specific kits to steer away from or towards. Also, I seem to remember a few threads where a specific exhaust manifold gasket was recommended, but I can’t seem to find it now.

Have heard FelPro is good, but for me, I would go OE. Sure, it's about $150 for both gaskets from RockAuto, but worth it, IMO.

Buy from a reputable source, NO AMAZON OR EBAY "KITS". Scares hell out of me.

For anything to do with internals on the engine, I'd stick with OE. Just my personal opinion, YMMV.

Have always heard to use new head bolts as well. Your call on that.

Remflex is the brand of exhaust manifold gasket everyone here recommends.

On mine, I used FelPro for the exhaust mani gaskets.

@kdkretzer, what mileage on your Ram?
