Yes experience does go a long way, Autodata from 2002 quotes it at 65nm fyi, corrected on the next update, I now have 2004 which specifies it correctly as 50nm, I have always used the Reinz kits and never had a problem, like I said the only problem we had was an over torquing problem which shredded the gasket in a week, I've bought one Elring kit, from Baxter and it was no different.
Like I said make up your own minds and save yourselves some money be it £5 or £40
Maybe Reinz now source from the same place that Elring do seeing as they had a lot of problems.
Admittedly it was a long time since I have seen a Reinz kit, who's names are on the crank seals etc?
