If you don't have them already, I found a nice set of gaskets on E-Bay for cheap. I've used the intake, exhaust, and cylinder head gaskets. Seam to be quality and good fit. I've seen them listed elsewhere for $12 per gasket. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Valve-Grind-Head-Gasket-Kit-Set-Fit-P216-P218-P220-P216V-P218V-P220V-Engine/352972358319?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 7,302 #29 Posted May 9, 2020 I had failures with cheap Chinese gaskets, for example the intake manifold gaskets turned to mush within a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gasket material they use in China is cereal box grade. Just thicker! Awhile back a customer said he had sent several of the Chinese gaskets to be tested for Asbestos. Came back positive! The Chinese are copying the Chinese, never know what you will get. With the garbage gaskets at least you know you are getting corn flakes box quality! All Genuine Onan gaskets are made in the U.S.A. and do NOT have any Asbestos in them! And they typically last 20-30 years.....or more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was not able to navigate your site well enough to find what I needed... Onan P220...Need 2 intake, 2 exhaust, to valve spring covers and probably 2 head gaskets.
