Victor Reinz and Elring Gaskets...Any Good?
Barksavon - 26/7/17 at 09:18 PM

Looking to buy new head gasket and head bolts for ST170 engine and not sure I want or need to pay over £170 for a set of ARP bolts and £80 for a Cometic gasket from Burton. Anyone used Victor Reinz or Elring .... If so any good? Or any other recommendations

I can vouch for Rhienz, I use them on Pinto engines as do others.
Good quality at a cracking price

The only gasket that would seal my Imp Engine was a Reinz, nothing else. Unquestionable quality.

At the time, the quality was superb. That may have changed, I know not, but quite a bit of 'branded' Eastern rubbish is coming in these days. I always check to see if a Company has been bought by questionable entities, or is outsourcing overseas.
