Has a fair bit more detail sealing the exhaust ports than the flat-cut one in my Payen set. I have emailled paddocks.

I did the same - all has worked well for 18 months - reused the existing lash caps - valve clearance hasn't altered.Quote:

I agree. Last set of genuine LR lash caps literally melted and disappeared. I wouldn't touch the genuine ones again.Quote:

The Payen looks to contain more parts and some (presumably rocker cover isolators) look nicer. But the Elring has a far better manifold gasket with reinforced exhaust ports etc. The Payen manifold gasket appears stamped from a single sheet and the internal edges are quite rough.
I'm still a long way off starting. Too many other jobs in the queue.
Lash caps ordered. Cheap out of the states, but I had to use a shipping service to keep costs down. The quoted international shipping was $US51-117.:o
