As title

 

I sent one back once as the bore holes didn't all line up.

 

Not me mate ,

Mine ran minimum of 36psi for a long time and even went as high as 42 without one bit of trouble

Id have one again anyday

 

hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

No problems at all and ive sold and fitted LOTS of them now!!

 

u assume i got that one fitted ?

 

I must of had a shit one then

 

Also comes in 2 different thicknesses mate

 

dean

Yer mate, but the one i got had a fault within it

 

whats up with your one Tiff?

 

Within it

Whats happened exactly ?

 

Me 2.

Got the good old Felpro instead.

 

Basically it had a fault that could not be seen but once fitted it showed its ugly head and caused a bit of damage.

I will be getting in contact with Cometic direct

 

mine's holding on ok

 

 

Why not sort it out with whoever supplied the gasket mate ?

 

Dean

It is not there problem as they only sell the gasket

 

But its still faulty mate , they sold it you let them sort it out with Cometic

 

lotf of damage mate?

 

Do you think it would be there problem then??????

Ie, They foot the bill of repair?

 

Tiff if theyve sold you a faulty gasket then of course between themselves and Cometic they would have to pay for the repairs

 

officially you should be getting recompensed by who supplied the gasket and then they claim off of cometic...

 

Ok Guys, Thanks for that, i will get onto them first thing

 

I would be looking at the person who fitted it...i can only guess it was not put on correctly.

Who fitted it????Dont say Karl either as being a gasket designer he would have seen the fault immediately if there was one

 

I could have swore thats what I said

 

Tiff

Definatly supplier- in retail thats who the contract is made with. and the same when the retailer buys things from the manufacturer.

It should not be your responsibility to chase them- Dont be fobbed off...
If a garage owner chooses to sell car parts just because they're a garage as well doesn't mean they can tuck you up. They're still retailing.

only person i know for sure has one is katie keith its a .57 (i think?) one if that makes any sense. has held only a week of 2 bar but you know he drives like a pleb 24/7 bless him lol

hope there aint too much damage anyway pal

 

sorry to hear that mate, without wishing to tempt fate, I got the thicker one, which is fine.... at the mo

 

how do you work that one out ?
you MAY find the gasket is warranted, if it fails they MAY replace the faulty item with a new one. NO ONE guarantees a head gasket , not even ford. cheers nomad

 

Nomad

The gasket was replaced with a Proper Mountune 4 layer WRC one and i paid the difference.
My problem is i have to sort out the damage that was caused because the gasket was faulty

 

Tiffany

i use to use the pukka 4 layer WRC version.... i tyred the cometics gasket and has been fine so far i have done loads of track days on it

it's fine it was 1/2 the price of the pukka wrc one i did ask deano about it sometime ago i went for the thicker 1 of the 2

you defo got a faulty one mate no douwt

 

i know what you mean tiff, it would be best to try the softly softly approach first with supplier then with cometic to try and get recompense, what i am saying is that they might honour the warranty on the gasket (due to fault) but might not honour any repairs due to the failure, it will be entirely at their discression, i had a problem with a ford engine part failure and ford would not even let me open the engine, if i had taken the head off my warranty would have been void, hope you get a good outcome but its not all plainsailing. cheers nomad

 

Tiff

another thing while your on .........to use these or any metal gasket the block surface and the head surface has to be 100% flat or they will not work

marco

 

i reckon the tuner might know that marco

 

Its a bit like one of my injectors failing and fucking your engine,nothing i can do....and Bosch deffo would only replace the faulty part!!!!!!

Thats life

 

what damage tiff?

water stains

 

Phil

But what if it was found that the injector itself was faulty which caused the engine to blow????????

 

Tiff, aint that what he said?

Hope it aint too bad tho

 

off course so it's faulty gasket then .if thats the case then cometics have to sort it simple as that really

tiff get on the case
