Valve cover gasket

You should buy main gasket OEM only. I've bought 2 Elring sets- all are leaking in 1 week from exhaust manifold side. On my own expirience- OEM main gasket set, but if you want to save $- other stuff (Spark plug o-rings, grommet rubber parts)- you can go Elring or Victor Reinz.

Sounds good. Thanks. I’ll stick to the OEM one

I Installed my elring dry, and it leaks
I ordered Dri Bond and BMW here in Australia sent me loctite 5970 Part number 83190404517
Can only source Victor Reinz main gasket here in Au$tralia atm, so i will have to fly a genuine in from schmiedmann

Has anyone tried Red Rubber Grease on these gaskets ? Either to help seal / prolong life
