Title: Head Gasket Set
Post by philrich on 14. Jan 2010 at 14:14

Can anyone tell me whether this HG set [ item no.310119036943 on e-bay ] is ok for my 2.2 Omega, or should I be buying from a main dealer? All comments gratefully received. :y

im sure i have heard of issues with the 'Shirley' ones.

Trechii are good.

Either way discard the cam cover gaskets....they are pattern and wont last, buy genuine for those.

looks ok, you need replacment head bolts as well. Exhaust manifold gasket does not look multi-layered, may want to get a better one

Just call up trechii, I have had issues with the head bolts from that seller.

Then bin the cam cover gaskets and get genuine, use genuine exhaust manifold gasket and re-use the cam shaft seals.
