Your feedback is appreciated.
Some people haven't had any issues with the Z1 gaskets, but for me and quite a few others, they leaked a short while after installing them. I've had good experiences with both the Vibrant and Berk gaskets in the past, and am now using the CZP eXtra thick gaskets which I would also recommend, but are a bit more expensive.
