Bought a set for my m42 build and I am displeased with their performance.
I pulled the VC today to advanvce the intake cam timing. Upon removal of the cyl 1 coil(I have COP), there was a BIT of oil in the sparkplug well. In the cyl2 well, there was a shitload of oil, about 2/3 of the way up, I couldn't see the sparkplug. It had made it's way into/onto the VC as well. All was properly prepared and tightened on the initial installation, and that where I had to remove the VC to redo the timing cover gaskets (1) week later.
Last week, I installed JiXer's phenolic spacer(writeup/review to come). The TB, upper/lower int, and lower/head gaskets were all showing signs of leakage. There was oil between all on them. All proper TQ spec and prep were performed before install.
I am dissapoint. Victor Reinz, never again. I am now worried about my Head Gasket.
