Replacing the manifold gaskets on my 450, got the old ones out this evening and they're looking pretty bad despite only being a few thousand miles old. I would imagine they were not the best quality items.



Which are the best to replace them with? Are these ones any good?

They are slip on shoes that I wouldn't be seen dead in outside the garage! May have slipped up with that picture...

I am having the manifold flanges skimmed anyway because there are a few areas of corrosion on the mating faces (learned my lesson with this in the past....), I will check that the gaskets align well with the manifold before fitment as well.

I think part of the issue is the lack of torque checking after fitment previously.

So the TVR parts gaskets should do the job?
