OK, guys
Is there a alternative to using the Shitty Gaskets that we have to use?
Permatex Ultra Copper I tried before but I don't think it holds up.

I have done the OFHG repair 3 times on 2 different vehicles and right down to the letter including the torque specs.

BUT Each time it leaked after about 6 to 12 months.

Now I am about to do it the the second time and I am not happy about it on my 2012 F30 335i.

I am seriously considering a Gasket Maker. Can someone provide an alternative product or a brand of Gasket Maker that they have tried and procedure if possible?

Thanks in advance.

Well I heard the new BMW Gasket is made in Japan. Did you use BMW Made in Japan or you don't know.

I used a victor reinz that I changed last summer at 90 000KM and I think it's already "seeping" a bit now at 106 000KM. Might get the BMW japan one.

Thank you Thank you very much.

I was about to create a DIY and try to make a gasket using a permatek product.
I am upset, cause I changed my belt when I did my OFHG last Nov.
now I gota do it again.

Thank you again.

Just buy the genuine BMW gaskets from a high turnover seller. The smaller places may still have the old German made ones
