Re: [alfa] Head Gasket Recommendation

Thats a good question. I have and old gasket packet and they come in
original alfa shrink wrap over card board. It has a code 0060567019. I
believe they are becoming hard to get. When you place the ricambi originali
next the after market you can see the quality difference. Some of the
cheaper ones are like layers of pressed cardboard. They always leak
combustion gas around the cylinder seal.
