why not just order one from a well known parts supplier like steve haygood or bav auto? atleast you know you arrent getting ebay junk.
Going to pull the head soon and will need new gaskets.
Is there a brand to choose or avoid?
I see a "corteco" (?) on ebay for $117 or so.
Thanks!!

Robin,
Goetz, Elring and Reinz are all good. I buy Reinz and Goetz, and I think Goetz is the most expensive of the bunch. Patrick will be able to sell you any of the three.
Corteco is a generic OEM supplier, make a lot of bushings and things like the rubber parts of motor mounts.
I seem to remember Bill R recommending using genuine BMW headgaskets - might be worth checking with him what his opinion & reasons are.

But when he retires I'm next on the list."
BMA has the Reinz for $100 or so. I'll have to call and see what the price is on the Gurts. For some reason I thought elring were OEM? Thanks for the replies!

In Australia if I am getting the head reconditioned or machined by a specialist I order the gaskets through him - often cheaper and certainly simpler than ordering elsewhere. My head guy supplied Goetze German made set which I am happy with.
