If you was going to do a head job which make of gasket would you go for? :?

Many say use this make, no use this make and so on.....

Very confusing

Just so many conflicting opinions its doing my my nutt in.

I'm going for the oversize 2.05mm gasket as the head will be skimmed does that sound right?

Ordered the Elring gasket and Elring valve seals.

How about the bolts Dan?, still go with Elring with a total head kit wise?

Ok the gasket came today :) Elring which i ordered but they sent me Febi valve seal's and not the Elring seal's that i ordered :(.

Should i just use the Febi one's or send them back and get the Elring's ?
