Has anyone here used complete engine gasket and seal kits for a full repair?

Which brands offer the best quality and long-term durability?
Are there any common issues to look out for during installation, like fitment problems or missing components?

I've used complete engine gasket and seal kits for a full rebuild, and the results really depend on the brand. From my experience, the high-quality kits from Klifex USA https://klifex.net/collections/engine-gasket-seal-kits offer solid durability and great fitment — the components match OEM specs well, and I haven't had issues with leaks afterward.

The main things to watch out for are cheap kits with poor-quality rubber and occasional missing seals. Always double-check the kit contents before starting the job, and make sure all surfaces are properly cleaned and prepped. With a good kit like the ones from Klifex USA, the installation is straightforward and long-lasting.
