Yes i know that there are diffs in the diesel HG and I don't use
JCWHITNEY for critical areas but for my general gasket sets (
intake,exhaust,wateroutlet,etc) they are usually the same as my
aftermarket supplier gets.
 Proper prep and installation are key here , not German but not too$$
much$$
 My ??? was if there were any asthetic diffs between the outlets and the
answer is generally no. On early 80's 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.6d blocks
ON difficult/important/expensive I highly recommend german ( HG clutch
TO bearing Timing belts Glowplugs)
