What does anyone in the know think about this set?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-REDTOP-C20XE-C20LET-HEAD-GASKET-SET-BOLTS-E-/170511303247?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b344024f

I'm needing to fix the car just now and I'm not exactly flush since losing my job. I've had bits off Trechii before and the guy's service is top notch, I'm just wondering if anyone's used that exact set and how they're finding it? I'd be using everything except from the valve stem seals, not in any position to be taking valves out etc.

Cheers for the reply mate, I ordered the stuff earlier anyway. I e-mailed and asked what make it was an he said FAI so I'm happy with that. Motorfactors up my bit do the same kit for £50 without the bolts so it's suiting me nicely.

It's not trechii parts. Unless the guy's blatently lying to me as said it's FAI which might not be the best but it'll do the job on a standard engine.

If I could use the best I would. Just so happens the engine's fucked up at a point where the only income I've got just now is my jobseekers allowance so that'll just have to do unfortunately.

ah fair enough matey, just make sure you when you get it the ex gasket isnt a thin paper type of gasket like some of the ebay sets are otherwise wasting your time.
