Was thinking about trying some of these. At $30 including shipping thought they might be worth a go.
Any opinions?

thats a lot of cash ,how often do you have the covers off ?
a set of cork ones are only a few quid and last years and years , spend ya cash on something else

Have to adjust the tappets every 3k Mark so they are off a fair bit and I for just over £20 a set, shipped, thought it might be worth it if silicone is the way forward

Might be worth asking on Volkszone for a general opinion as there is a vast Aircooled presence there and I'm positive someone must have tried and rated them
Lemmie know how good they are if you find out as I'd like to know too!

Done that and opinion is mixed. I have ordered some as I have some aluminium aftermarket bolt on covers to fit and hoping they might be better than the gaskets I've been using. Due to solid lifters I adjust the tappets every 3k so change the gaskets quite frequently
