Hi Marshall

I, too, bought a Victor Reinz Complete Engine gasket set here in South
Africa when I was doing my 2.1 rebuild. Although the quality of some of the
gaskets were good, I found many parts missing! These included the tappet
cover cork gaskets, thermostat gasket, oil cooler rubber gasket and various
other paper gaskets. (No sealant nor instructions either).

Picture the scene: it is late evening/early morning; I am dirty, smelly and
oily. I curse frequently. After many hitches I am finally getting those
water pipes together. Must do them quickly, the gasket sealant is drying on
the other side.... Damn! Where the @#F$%F^%F&*F! is that other gasket??!!!
Uuuurrrggghh!

Subject: Review: Victor Reinz Complete Engine Gasket Set

Hi Volks:

I bought this set of gaskets, because I plan on resealing my cylinder heads
some time this summer.

I never knew that an engine had so many gaskets! (This set has them all,
apparently)

In any case, the set includes both rubber head gaskets, 2 cork head? gaskets
,2 tubes of gasket sealant and two tubes of nut sealant. Instructions, too
(in German, French and English)

It's got big and small O-rings, little copper rings, fuel injector seals -
stuff I don't even recognize, but I can only guess at. Lots of manifold or
exhaust gaskets, I think.
