Can I use this Gasket?

Saw your post and thought I had better check my new 550 Vesrah gasket which arrived from DS the day before yesterday and sure enough some signs of corrosion -

Not as bad as yours but the lower right patch is deep enough for me to ask for a replacement

SeanFD:
No Julie, it was a real struggle to get into the packet - nearly as bad as getting at a ready-made sarnie!

I contacted DSS and they have agreed to send me a replacement - no quibble. ONly thing is, they don’t have one in stock at the moment so a bit of a delay now  :(

 

SeanFD:
I got my replacement head gasket today and discovered that the corners, at the larger holes at the front have been bent over; there is a definite crease in the material. You can see this at the top of the left hand gasket in the picture.

Also, while the Versah gasket has copper coloured ring around these holes and around the oil-flow regulator holes, the new one does not. 

Does anyone have experience with these replacement gaskets (DSS Part No: BCCFB-377-000P), because visually they don’t seem as good as the Versah, or the one I removed.

Secondly, can I use this damaged one, or should I ask for, another, replacement? The damage is clearer in this pic.

Nurse Julie:
I wouldn't risk it. If it were me, I would be sending it back, again. I can't see why Sliver keeps selling off sub standard stock 🤔🤔🤔.

SeanFD:
 ;D

Thanks Julie. My feeling exactly; I was just looking for some reassurance that I wasn’t being unreasonable.

On to the phone!
