   Friend of mine just put a new coil pack housing on his 98 1.1 as his one had cracked. But when he took it off there was a black rubber gasket which fell apart. Anyone know what sort of gasket that is? Where i could get it from? Or would a copper gasket which i have work? cheers.

   yes mate. Its like a black silicone. Not really like a paper gasket. But it seemed to come pre made if you get me, it weren't splatted everywhere like a instant gasket would go like. I maybe be wrong, hence me asking if anyone else knew

   btw when i say housing i mean the block that bolts to the cylinder head. not the plastic coil pack itself. in case thats what you think im talking about

   Might be like the vts rocker cover iirc doesnt have a gasket only has a silicon bead running round it, could be what that is....
