what the matter with the reitnz gaskets?.. As long as its a metal one it should be good to go.. No? Have you heard bad things about the reintz?

I've never heard a problem with the Victor Reinz gaskets either or experienced one myself. Ran them on the old IDI TD and of course the metals ones here on the TDI...no issues with them and its been seeing some nicely sustained 30psi at times.

the 1st gasket i had in there after i rebuilt it was a elring
i wish i coulda gotten another,i forgot where i got that one
i swear we had issues with them (reintz)on the older idi engines
we saw quality issues with them on some of the bigger engines when i was in ohio
i figured ,why skimp on somethin like that?
id just avoid any fears by going oem
and besides it wasnt too much more $$
i actually got it @ hudson valley vw for like 61 bucks

well...the old reintz gaskets for the IDI's were fiber gaskets...
All the TDI ones are metal, just like the "upgrade" that many IDI's are using now, which is the metal AAZ gasket. Can't see as if I've had any problems!
