Post by: kevinp58 on 20 May 2014, 22:52:20

I have just ordered a belt kit from them now the question is yes they are good for belt kits but what about their cam cover gaskets  :-\ has anybody brought them and are they any good.  :)

Think someone bought some gaskets to test. Still unknowns so we still reccomend genuine  :y

Stick with genuine, nothing has been found to better them and I doubt that 10 Years after the end of 54 degree V6 production has finished any manufacturer would be interested in making a quality alternative.

Buypartsby/SAF just sell all sorts, but the Conti ones are what I use.

For camcover gaskets, we still recommend GM, despite the high cost
