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!

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.
