      They been floating around the market long enough.

      If there were problems with them then I am sure they wouldn't still be selling them.

      I just don't take the head off enough to warrant a reusable head gasket. Athena supply head gaskets for half the price so why wouldn't I just buy that.

        I've been out of the DT loop for to long i think...last i remember it was genuine or bust! Now a week after paying 30 odd quid for a gen head gasket, i find out that athena do one for a fraction of the price, and I have just found someone selling the copper ones for about the same price as the athena! ffs! Live and learn..

          @fused Get back on it mate 😄

          Yeah you can only use either Athena or Genuine, personally I'd just use Athena, great quality at a good price.

            I just order the full set up for a 3 power valve servo which wasn't cheap, so I'm well and truly back on it now! haha

                I used one of the cheap knockoff white ones, cost pretty much nothing and has never leaked, I fitted it using wellseal on both surfaces, never fit a gasket dry.
