Thanks mate, been trying to get these for months. Ford only do one side and you have to buy the cover as well.

done me a big favour

Is the gasket set that you got for the wrong engine?
That listing was for the engine you mentioned but they do say on it that the cam cover gasket is wrong..

IF they have sent you the wrong one I would persevere, they have a good feedback rating and will contact you eventually

hi there

how long have you gave them to reply? ebay says you need to wait 10 days before complaining to them.

what's wrong with the gasket set?

You can ask if they will swap them but i think its their choice whether they do or not :-/

You can not get BOA 24V rocker gaskets (Granada) from any where but from Barry.
Ring Rob or Barry on 01375 672641

All parts dealers will sell you ones for a BOB that do not fit & Ford have never supplied gaskets for them by them selves.

cheers howie

first and last time i use ebay.

don't really want to buy unless i can see first. first set i bought was from british gaskets and i knew after that, that there is a problem with their catolouge. as soon as i opened the package i bought from ebay and saw british gaskets i knew
was wrong. except this time bought whole head gasket kit for two gaskets. first and last time i use ebay

Trust me they are the right ones.
Barry had them custom made as you simply can not buy them anywhere except from Ford with the rocker cover for about £300 each.
Quality is as Ford spec, they glue onto the cover as STD too.
