I've recently fitted a set of Elring gaskets to mine and they seemed a bit bigger or chunkier than the originals.  :-\

Is that a politically correct way of saying fat.

Good feedback dbug, , thank you! I have a set of Victor Reinz ones waiting to go on the MV6 so will report back about those... £25 including O rings :y

Victor Reinz are the GM OE supplier I believe - at least, all of the genuine GM ones I've bought have Victor Reinz emblazened on the half-moon sections.

I can't really comment as he (the car) has only done 500 miles maximum,  but so far leak free :y

Yes, original ones are made by Victor Reinz.
I used it several times, and they are as good as origial, and last long (last set did more than 40.000km on the car with no visible leak).
