This may seam like a silly question, but my engine builder has just returned my dads Cossie head after sorting out some broken studs etc in it. He just looked at the gasket and said that aint a Cometic head gasket.

After looking at it, it has a name written on it Herd Rintez (spelling and i carnt be arsed to go out the garage and check!! lol)

Iam not gonna name and shame the company at the mo, but the set i bought is sold as;

"New, Cometic head gasket set inc. Grp A YBO 611 gasket"

Cheers for any help

Mate that means cometic every other gasket and a Grp A gasket Not misrepresented imo!

 

Just been out to get the gasket, its got "Victor Reinz" written on it.

Its got to go back anyway as around one of the water chanel holes it has some of the sillicone coating missing.

 

Yes it should have Reinz on it mate

 

thats a group A one then isn't it.

a cometic one is a metal,multi layer gasket.

cannot mistake one of them.

 

Right thats where the problem is then, he has bought a Cometic multi layer one.

So iam i right when i say a group "A" is just any old headgasket then?

 

i bought a similar kit not long ago-it is a group a head gasket,with a set of cometic,manifold and rocker cover etc gaskets.the cometic head gasket is about £110 on its own to buy

 

Ye agree with fordsportjay

I got my head gasket set from woodford that consisted of a cometic multilayer head gasket and genuine ford all other gaskets

 

Right-o guys, just wanted to make sure i had not been stitched up, as the gasket packaging had been opened.

Cheers for everyones help
