Are Elring head gaskets worth the extra cost over Stock gaskets?
Yes, They have a grommet at the oil feed which is good and are made of good materials. I saw one engine where all the gaskets including the head gaskets showed white crusting at the mating surfaces like the crusting on battery terminals due to cheap materials. I always use top tier products on a rebuild. Relative to the effort and other money spent on a rebuild the extra cost is relatively small.
Corbani knows. John, what type of head gasket did you use for the one you showed in this post? Thank you http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=136398182&postcount=1
Those gaskets are from GT Car Parts. Their gaskets are far and away the best gaskets I have found. Good stock and overnight delivery and reasonable prices. Material, thickness, accuracy in cutting are right on. John
The Markowskis are making some comments about Elring. Surprizing since they are experts in the Ferrari area and Elring have had a good reputation: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2007/03/05/ferrari-v-12-repairnot/
