The gasket was in, the housing hasn't been changed either, it's as soon as you nip the bolts for the housing up it starts to rub inside the housing. Will go and get pics just now, I suspect its just faulty unit. Not sure how long ago I bought it iddy, I bought it along with a timing belt kit, oil pump, forged pistons and a gasket set. You may remember as I bought skat conrods from a boy on here then you gave me a good deal on the pistons.
