It is very easy to joke when you are not concerned
In my opinion , a cylinder head gasket is good or not
but it can be in an intermediate condition
It suits or not your engine type & specification

I am interested to know how many customers would have accepted to have this type of cylinder head gasket installed if he ( she) has been previously informed .
This without any consideration of price of course !

Greg would you ?

The biggest problem they have with me is that I have written no lies
I am attacked only on my lack of English knowledge
None of my assertion on technical problems have been contradicted !!!

Customer: "The head gasket you sent me was missing a cooling system
hole, so my mechanic punched one and it got installed OK"

Factory: "Thanks for that. None of our other customers mentioned
that to us. We'll check the original drawings and inform our supplier."

This is exactly what fair trading suggests to do

I thought it will be like that

Better! Numerous reasonable scenarios can be constructed and
perhaps this is a "teachable moment" that reasonable car owners can learn from.

Hi Bellerophon,

Thank you for the information on the head gasket - appreciated.
I noticed that the gasket "SET" on Ebay sold although I am not sure how complete the "set" really was.

Thanks again

Cheers

I would take advise from the man installing the gasket.

I have already agreed - what more do you want ?
