Cometic Gaskets
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.

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

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
