#1: Cheap head gasket kit? Author: sheldon2506, Location: Batley, West YorkshirePosted: Fri Jan 28, 2011 1:23 pm ---- 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

No point in taking it all apart & not replacing the timing belt at the same time

Gonna be an elring kit from Andy at my local ECP. I must be buying too many spares if i know the "parts" guy's name lol
