AF460 is the original 'copper' gasket

The BK450 gasket set is DK451 *wink*

AF470 is the same as BK450 but with extra copper sealing rings around more holes *wink*

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

AF470 or BK450. as Sprocket above, AF470 has an extra sealing ring so could be slightly better but to be fair i've never had one fail around that area, so either

BK450, accept no substitutes.

Copper gaskets can have a tendancy to leak along the front of the head not life threatening but not right either.

If undecided read the top line.
