Everyone seems to use this gasket. Could I get a part number for it?

Thanks

The Mopar part no. is P4529242 if you can still find it separately. Otherwise the top end gasket kit carries part no. P4529245.

Just a heads up: The P4529245 kit I bought came with the Fel-pro 9076pt1 .051" gasket, cork valve cover and 3-piece oil pan gasket, not the .043" VR P4529242 gasket that you would think comes with it.

From Napaonline: "We're sorry, but no matching products were found for "54249 head gasket".
Please try searching again with different keywords."
54249 does come up as a muffler now.

I need to pick up the gasket on Monday so I can finish up the CC on the head. All I see on their site are Fel-pros.
Just got off phone and NAPA is fel-pro only now, no victors.

I just ordered the summit racing P4529242 head gasket. Its listed as the mopar performance head gasket which should be the .043 compressed thickness gasket. Has anyone ordered this gasket from them and gotten the right part RECENTLY?

The mopar performance gasket was on "deep" back order (#5) at the local Jeep dealership which parts guy said would be a 4-5 month wait with a 5 rating. Oddly enough Summit had a couple dozen in stock which worries me. Hesco shows the Victor Reinz gasket listed as available. Starting to wish I had waited until Monday and ordered from Hesco. A few buck more but I would be sure of getting the right gasket.
