Car in question is a 3.0 V6. Had breathers blocked to beggary, and oil in all plug wells.
Free of charge, I fitted a pair of pattern gaskets - to get him through a rough patch short term.
Anyhow, fitted spotlessly clean, with breathers cleaned, using the correct sealant.
15k later...... dry as a bone :o - I did not expect that.
Anyone guess the make?
Not Elring or FAI.... and I must say, they were well fitting, and nice and soft, not the usual poorly fitting pattern gaskets.
Discuss.....
-
if the pattern part is good enough, and near enough spec, then why not.
pattern parts arent a problem.....bad pattern parts are :y
-
What make and here did you get them James? Have always felt the Vx gaskets, whilst good, were bl**dy expensive for what they were!!

No, it's none of them. I've not had much luck with them either.
It was made by Victor Reinz. I'd never heard of them before.

If it's the same as just Reinz, they make head gaskets. OE Senator 24v is a Reinz.

just my luck, just got vaux gaskets for mine, when they said the price i actually said 'how much'? then proceded to tell him how much ive dealt with vaux over the years, and how much i think they are untrustworthy and take the urine, he wasnt quite sure how to react, and thats with trade. like the rubber bits in the 2.6/3.2 dis packs, cant have them gotta buy the lot(which i dont believe). so i did, both packs genuine bosch at half the price from someone else! id rather pay someone else if they cant be reasonable.
