[Supras] Overhaul gasket set question

[Fred]

Thanks for the reply. That is a good idea, do you know what have they found 
then for? They are listing JEs for $720.00 with rings, does that sound 
right? Thats about $180 - 200 more then Toyota. Most listed are 8.8 :1, 
compression ratio 84mm. I think it might better to stay with 8.4:1 and I 
only need 83.5mm. Guess i"ll keep looking
