Ordered a Payen BK450 head gasket from my local parts man. But when it arrived it was a BK450 (turbo) ACL brand, and silver in colour. Is this one a lesser quality than the Payen black one?

ACL makes good head gaskets (for smallbores) but I've not seen this one.

Try it, you might like it. :wink:
If it doesn't blow or leak water, it's as good as the Payen one.
