Dirko is silicone based and silicone does not stick well to silicone afaik.

Elring were never proved to be at fauly and I never saw other cases, quality was poor for sure but why have we not seen others fail this way.

I will only use Victor Reinz gasket kits on a wbx now. Elring may have been the oem supplier (code ELO) but the quality seems to have gone west.
The thickness of the oil pump cover gasket is a joke!
