They all OK now or what? There was Tiffanys horror story, dunno about any others.

Was that an isolated incident and they as good as they ever was or what?

How much are they anyhow? Seen how cheap they are from the 'States?

 

Got one on my car and its been fine in the 1400 miles i have done so fare

But yeah they are based in the states so u might be able to get one cheaper from them direct, if they sell to the public.

 

Well they do RB26 (ie GTR) Cometic gaskets in the States for 100quid, and thats a 6cyl gasket, so wonder how cheap they sell YB ones?

 

 

Wassat mean?

 

I run a cometic...they have to be installed correctly or they fook up.

 

Or Cometic themselves admit to a faulty gasket

 

pj got em for 120 quid, thats the wrc style one, and i hope the fukas work as i just bought one

when ya say they have to be done correctly, what do you have to do diffeent to cometic that you dont have to do to normal ones

 

That was a crap dig at me because Phil thinks that Karl fitted my Cometic gasket wrong

BUT

Both PJ and Cometic themselves have said that the gasket itself was faulty.

 

So apart from a 1 off fault with Tiffs that could happen to anyone with any product really, they good yea?

 

aaaaaaaaaah, i see,

 

@ Steve

Yes mate, loads of people on here run them and they have been fine

But i have been put off for life

i think a few others on here have had a few problems too

 

WHo else has had problems? Thats what i wana know, WAS it a 1 off?

Ive only heard about Tiff, and there was that geezer with an esc cossie but it turned out he didnt have a fucking clue what he was doing and did it wrong

 

The guy with the moonstone sapphire(like that helps )

he is a trader on here

2 secs i will do a search

Hmmm....

He says it blew n took the block n head with it...

Wassat about?

Be good to hear the proper story n facts as that sounds a bit bizzare...

 

I never said that Tiff ...I just know that if you dont line it up correctly they blow....some people actually say its best to fit with engine out of car!!...

Only some advice from my experience why do you have to make out i being vindictive

 

early ones with seperate fire rings were troublesome but new ones are ok asw far as im aware

 

Phil

Do i really have to search for my VERY first post when my gasket fooked up and prove you wrong??

 

I meant on this occassion I dont dig at Karl now..as i run his base map remember.

 

Oh yes, forgot you are now a member of Team NMS

 

mine been on for 12,000ml now, used to run 35+psi and aint had no probs. car runs cool and still going strong

 

My Dad ran a Cometic when the engine was first built. He now runs a WRC gasket since the Cometic started to leak at 34psi of boost...

 

Steve

i use to use the pukka quad layer one on my car.....but i couldn't afford the new quad one at the time so i bought a cometics and tyred it.....it hasnot or never ever let me down ....been on the car 2.5yrs no probs ......i did buy the thickest one out of the 2 tho (for the cossie)

I rate them 1/2 the price of the pukka quad one

regards marco

 

there was post on here recently about these cometics and the guy posting said that the gasket had to be 'sealed' WFT does that mean coz i didnt seal mine.

ps mine has separate sealing rings - still ok

 

I think stu @ motorsportdevelopments said to use a sealer when installing
