..............agree.i agree rob but some patten parts are not badas you can see not everyone can buy from vx stealers some off us cant affored vx prices we keep our cars going on a shoe string well i have never had trouble with patten parts .each to what you can buy at the timeVery true Ralf, but if everyone deleted their account when they were advised of the pitfalls with using certain pattern parts the Oof membership would deplete quite rapidly.
If people do not wish to accept advice from members who have experienced problems with pattern parts, don`t post seemples
We are talking cam cover gaskets here, not exhausts or cambelts.
If you are DIY'ing your gaskets, the amount of effort & time spent changing them (especially on a V6) its a job you only want to do once!
I gave clear advice, don't see why he got the humpI get the feeling the OP had already purchased those gaskets!
Suggest he got the hump because of the manner of your reply.
You didn't in fact answer his question which was "will these ones be ok or they the wrong ones." - just said "Do not buy pattern". If you had looked at the link the seller posted, although the seller does't actually state they are genuine VX, he does strongly infer so and quotes Vx part numbers. Surely it would have been more helpful to answer the guys question and advise these were not genune Vx but pattern and therefore not to use (as RobG tried to do).
Because his question went effectively unanswered the guy repeated his question which Albs answered, and you then responded as if the guy was a moron. He was genuinely asking for help because he hadn't the experience of other members. Not the way to treat a "Newbie" IMO, but definitely the way to lose members
