Title: Victor Reinz Head Gasket?
Post by: e3091318is on May 11, 2013, 04:02:41 PM

Has anyone actually used one of these before on their car?  If so what feedback can you give on them?

Used it twice, with no issues.  Head cracked year later after the first time, and head gasket was fine.

Thank you for the response.  I have read a lot of random forum posts on various sites and heard horror stories.  I am beginning to realize it isn't the gasket, it's the installer.  Most of these people do some pretty half-ass work.

just in case someone is interessted.
iam located in Germany and can tell you Reinz gaskets are the best gaskets you possibly can get as OEM Exchange pt.
they are a leader here and supply all Kind of gaskets for every merceds Modell out there.They have real heavy science going on when developing the stuff as they work very Close with the biggest automotive companies arround here.
i didnt use Headgaskets yet but can speak for the oilpangasket.
iema pretty sure you cant do wrong with those.

Used them on the 318is and had zero issues with them.
