So I'm doing a rebuild on the old m20b25 motor,and found this on fleaBay- has anyone else used these gaskets and had any experiences? It seems an easier and cheaper option than having to give Cotswold every single part number for the gaskets!
If not these,then can anyone recommend another set to use?
Thanks in advance fellas :D

Link missing from your post?
M20s are a fairly unsophisticated design by modern standards, and most gaskets are just sheets of paper, so almost any supplier can be used for them, even if you source a better quality head gasket from elsewhere, for instance.

Hi have used this items. Only problem i had was the inlet manifold gaskets were too small. I had to reprofile the inlet holes. Only took 5 minutes. Hope that helps. Other wise very good.
