URGENT headgasket help needed

[pro-biotic]

Four words.....Buy cheap-buy twice!!!

BGA aren`t cheap, and certainly as good as any OE product - they make seals and gaskets for jet engines, petrochemical plants and rail industry - i use these over OE and cheapo aftemarket all the time.

did you notice the tightneing sequence and tourque settings were in the head set? dont see that on any OE or aftermarket head sets

B G Automotive Ltd is the aftermarket division of the British Gaskets Group, a world leader in original equipment (OE) sealing solutions.

hmm well hopefully the headgasket was ok then, was disapointed that the injector o rings were incorrect, water outlet o rings too thin and rocker cover gasket the incorrect shap though! 

Found 8 short 10mm bolts in the garage today so will be using these to fit a mk3 rubber gasket  thanks for the advice on this Ben Lessani

I've sold Elring Reinz and Goetze to customers.. all had tightening torques and whatnot on the slip inside.

head gaskets come with torqe figures as the ones that shoudl be used are the ones provided by the gasket manufacturer.   as if you are fitting a diffrent type of gasket eg a MLS instead of composite  the torqeing figures can be diffrent
