If they are "black onyx" or another label by the same mfg they are fine. Many have used them including me with no problems. The good news is you do not get 20 pounds of useless head bolts like with the factory gaskets.

So, the Victor Reinz are good gaskets? In this auction it states They are Victor Reinz, with the VI part number also.

I contacted NorthernAutoParts on Ebay and specifically asked if they were Victor Reinz or are they a like design, and he specifically stated that they were in fact Victor Reinz, and are in a shrink wrapped package. He gave me a number to call for his 6.0 guy so if anyone needs it, post up.

Go to the 7.3L FTE and ask about Northern Auto Parts. They are excellent. Look at their feedback. 99.7 percent positive for over 14,000 sales. People are extremely happy with them. They also send out a monthly catalog.

Just a thought......
