hi all, my small oil leak from head gasket (top left corner) has now got worse  need to replace head gasket and found a cheap set on tebay, wanted to know if anyone has used a similar set, its 18 quid including the head bolts which seems too cheap to be of any quality lol
Anyone experienced a cheap head gasket kit?
Any advice will be appreciated, sorry if this has already been posted before

head bolts are normally strechy bolts anyway which are about £25 on there own and shouldnt be used more than once . with a job as big as a head gasket its wise to buy decent quality parts if you buy a cheapo headgasket an it lasts a month thats alot of work which could of been done properly the first time

You also need a timing belt kit.
No point in taking it all apart & not replacing the timing belt at the same time
