I have to accept what Perry has said because he clearly has the
experience but I was going on original BMC gasket sets or Payen sets
produced when the cars were young.
Fortunately I have not so far had to use gasket sets made later than
these early ones but I no doubt will have to sometime. It sounds as if
they are inferior to the originals?
