Upgraded sump gasket purchased from Gemzoe Motorsport

I’ve got my first batch of updated Rover K-Series wet sump gaskets finished today and some have already been sent out.

They have 3 oil return holes in them that line up to the oil returns in the block.

I’ve seen some of the original gaskets crack in service so these have been made from a slightly different material. I’ve also found out who else my material supplier sells this material to and I’m in very good company.

These are £50 (not vat to add)

If you want them posting out the postage is £7.79 and will come packaged properly so you done end up with a bent and unusable gasket like live received in the past.
