4.0l sump gasket

[xj99]

Ive been collecting all the parts to stop all the annoying leaks i see every time I'm under the xj, i.e. oil filter adapter o-ring kit , transmission filter and gasket, front diff seal and so on. Most of these parts were under $30 but when i came to the sump gasket i nearly fell off my chair!! $165 from JeeP. Now has anyone on here found a genuine one or another brand just as good much cheaper?
The cheapest I've found so far is new old stock, from a US based ebay seller for roughly $57 landed here. Good deal ? or is there better to be found locally? Time is not an issue as all these parts will be done over the christmas break when I'm on holidays.

Typical dealer price. Never buy at a dealers, unless you absolutely have to, I'd say.
Plenty of alternatives available: Felpro is one of them.
Look on Rockauto.com under your year and vehicle. Choose any gasket that's listed and has your personal preference (I would never use cork gaskets). You can also check if Amazon.com sells the same item (because their shipping is usually the cheapest).

Pretty sure Wooders will have one. If you can get a rubber one for 57 all up that s pretty good. I paid 90 thereabouts from an engine reconditioners.

Had a look on Rockauto for ye (it won't let me link to the parts page).
Start under $15 for rubber ones, good quality between $15-21.
Compared to that $57 +....no brainer. Even with shipment.

$55 freight to my place. I think he might be better off with the $57 one.

Well, have you looked on Amazon.com, to check if they sell the item as well, like I suggested? You will have to do the shipping details, since my shopping cart is already full and can't chew that one out for ye
Curious what you will come up with then.
