Faulty? Inferior? Incorrect? - just semantics.

The fact is it needed adapting for Bristol engines. Which might be acceptible if it came from Halfords, but it didn't, it apparently came from Bristol, who say on their web site;

"We crave instead integrity of purpose and an unmatched level of engineering perfection."

In my humble opinion this is a lack of knowledge and a couldn't care less attitude .
It is not normal that a "genial director" sells such faulty goods
Why don't they sell good cylinder head gaskets ?

I have been invited to purchase everything for my Arnolt-Bristol at the factory because of their experience in this particular domain

The argument was "who better than us can give you the best result"
That was enough to give all my confidence
