Looking for a gasket set I see David Silvers lists 2 different gasket sets at quite different prices. Is the cheaper one any good or best to avoid?
-
I have the Vesrah one this time, and noticed it was the blue one I had last time and no leaks anyway after about 1500 miles or so. Cant say whether I found much difference really.
-
In order of preference, OEM, VESRAH, NE BRAND, ATHENA,. But, to be honest, it's more about the way the gasket surfaces are prepared and the way gaskets are fitted more than the brand.

Some dont have the rubber pucks, as the yanks call them, that seal the holes where you get to head nuts
-
The DS ones definately don’t have them.

I've always thought that weird Bryan, that's why I hold stock of them.

That set definately dont have them pucks
-
Vesrah set doesn't have them either, mad considering the cost of it.
-
Several years ago i imported several sets from the US and sold a few on the forum at cost, dont think i have spare and cant get to them at moment anyway
-
They were in that set I had from you Bryan iirc.
-
You were one of the people Ted

From experience, I prefer the Vesrah product, with Pontefract cakes from me Julie.
