Default eBay VC's...... Any decent??

I'm tempted. Link is just a reference. Not the EXACT ones I'm looking at but almost identical. But I figure i'd check first.

There was a thread on here a while back stating the set the guy bought leaked when installed.

Pretty, i guess, but at $180 a pop I'd sure be tempted to try wet 600 grit
and Mother's first on a junkyard set. If I was going to make anything shiny
under the hood, which would only require me to keep after it, so....

That was luis, he tried allot of stuff to make them work. I don't know if he actually got them to work though.

Hmmmm... I wouldn't mind something that says "He's got something under there"

I found a set for less than half that, was just wondering. I think the way they are designed, may put unequal pressure on the gasket surface.

The other guy torqued his correctly? I'd LOVE a set of CF ones or a set from Katech, but I can't handle that price right now.
