[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 639845, member: 20098"] Hi folks, Following on from a recent post of mine on here regarding leaking rocker cover gaskets, I was made aware of the poor quality materials being used by most of the major parts suppliers. I have been on the lookout for an alternative, and stumbled across ‘shirley9293’ on EBay, who seems to trade as The Gasket Shop. They are offering cork gaskets in both 4mm (standard thickness) and 5mm. I figured no harm in trying the thicker ones, so ordered a set. First impressions, noticeably softer and more ‘corky’ than the ones I recently purchased. Also, a much better fit - see pictures below. I will point out that the cutting isn’t great, they are wider in places, but I don’t think this will cause any issues in practise. I’ll be chucking a set on the van later, so it’ll be interesting to see how they perform.
