Title: Anyone need rocker cover gaskets?
Post by: ScottieMV6 on 02 August 2009, 18:33:45: These seem reasonably priced if they are as stated made by a supplier to Vx! ;)

Or another reason....like maybe they are shite and dont do the job (i.e. meet the Vx spec!)

Elring
FAI
Ebay specials
Head gasket kit ones

They lasted between 1 week and 6 months!

I've tried a few - the only one I had any sucess with was victor reinz gaskets. fitted well, didn't leak, seemed to do the job.

They nearly cost as much as genuine GM ones though ;D ;D ;D
