best place for hbv
« on: 21 April 2009, 19:44:12 »
I'm going to change my hbv when I do cam cover gaskets.

Is it something worth going genuine for or is aftermarket ok for the hbv? (gaskets will be gen VX)

some pattern have been known to leak very quickly

Vaux did even supply a few dodgy ones briefly, but generally genuine on these is best  :y

Go genuine. They can be a focker challenge to replace and you dont want to have to do it twice  :y
