Nearly 3 years ago I used "Reinz" gaskets on my 84 vanagon. I was told
by
someone on the list that it was not a good one. But it was too late for
me since I had done it. Well, It's been nearly 3 years and 20k+ miles
added and there is no probelms so far. It costed me about $200 though.

What are the brands available? Reinz is German made.
