cometic exhaust manifold gaskets
Are they as good/better than the OE ford ones? The cometic ones feel a bit light and not as beefy as the OE ford ones. No reason to doubt them really just wondered if anyone had any comments/experiences before I fit them

I have them from Matt Lewis and rag the bum off the car, no problems after thousands of miles.

I used LOCTITE 5910 to seal the gap between the bits on mine.

Cometic exhaust manifold gaskets are very poor quality. Stick with OE cosworth Reinz gaskets.
