Due to my continuing oil pressure issues. I'm pulling the lot in bits to see what’s what.

So I'm in need of a full engine and gearbox gasket set.

Thought I might try one of these. Copper shim sump gaskets http://www.calverst.com/shopopen.htm

Are they any good and are they worth the money. Or should I just use a stock replacement item?

Paper ones have done the job well enough for the past 50 years

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

IMO i would put stock ones back. These look great but i don't see the need for them.
