Got a reply that they don’t do 4 pots
Funny thing is that head bolts cost ca £1/pc while connecting rod bolts are for £3-4.

Sorry, though it was V6 gaskets you were after!  :-[

On the bolts, the aftermarket will not be using many conrod bolts, headbolts will be in huge numbers so hence why I suspect the price difference!

4 pot head gaskets I just buy genuine as they are not to expensive
