   His feedback seems ok.
   
   When I needed a head gasket, head bolts and cambelt kit, I got the best prices I could find from eBay. Went to my local motor factors and they matched the prices.

   I was told when buying mine that some vtrs have a fibre gasket and some have the metal gasket. Mine was them metall gasket and it was 1998.

   It doesnt matter wether its fibre or steel, they will both do the same job. Steel ones tend to be stronger but are more expensive. I used a fibre one on mine whereas it had a steel one before with no problems.
