Title: Cam cover gaskets
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 26 August 2017, 13:16:46

What's the current recommendation?

I know there have been a few successes with pattern ones, I'm just not sure which :y

Thanks!

Don't know about what gaskets are being used.Last year I bought a pack of seals from Vx stealers that are described as o rings,it consists of four round ones and one that looks slightly deformed as it looks like a not quite formed figure 8.The part number for the pack is 90500983.I believe the one that's hard to source[if it's possible at all]is the one that sits beneath the breather bridge.

Wasn't Webby running something like Payen gaskets?

Elring on mine for the last 3 and a half years. They were part of a £12 head set, that I used all of. I didn't have new O rings, so gave them a smear of silicone.

I've used Victor Reinz on mine, installed 2.5 years ago, and all good for now. Previous set was the same manufacturer, almost no leaks for over 4 years.

Not sure how common this manufacturer is in UK. I'd go for erling if VR wasn't available.

I am in need of cam cover gaskets. I bought a set from Leader Specialist Components, Redhill Surrey, presuming they would be the same as supplied previously, and depicted in their e-bay advert. they sent instead Hans Pries TOPRAN gaskets, labelled ERSETZT - replacing. They seemed all right, fitted OK, but on first fitting one of the 1-3-5 gaskets became displaced and got cut in 2, I fitted a second one, it seemed OK, but now that side is smoking, suggesting an oil leak.

Where do I get Payen or Elring cam cover gaskets?
