Mechanic says it’s not the head gasket.

[87 Supra]

Well it looks like I was nursing a bad head gasket the whole time. It finally blew two days ago. She started bellowing white smoke and started running a little rough. I parked her in the garage and haven’t started her since. I have a few questions for the HG pros out there who have done this job before. I have never worked on major engine components on this type of car before but I’m up for the challenge. That being said I have found a few sources for gaskets and was hoping some of you could point me down the right path. From what I have read most people go straight to there Toyota dealers but the one I usually deal with here is very pricey on parts. I found a few external web based companies that offer gasket kits made by Felpro and Ishino. I was contemplating the Felpro kit. Has anyone ever used this one before? Any advice on it or should I just buy it from the dealer? I want to make sure all the gaskets fit right and I have heard stories about the Valve cover gaskets on some sets not fitting properly.
