Was that trade? A head gasket set from my work is 25+vat.. Motor factors rock.

OE equivalent is my guess.

Always buy the head set. You get raped without mercy if you are still wet behind the ears enough to ask for a singular gasket. lol

Dont even bother if you cant get trade prices, like all dealer than are a rip off to "normal" people.

Not OE, but might as well be, we sell FAI and Payne, both who surly GM..
Some stuff as the Gm 90.. part number on them..

the reason they want you to buy 2 is because they dont want to keep the other in stock ' as they dont usually keep them

I got some f13 gearbox gaskets last year & they come in 2's too. i think it is actually to protect them as a single gasket is very flimsy
