DO NOT buy custom gaskets from Kyalami Motorsport

I recently ordered a set of head gaskets from the above mentioned company. I was promised a set of metal and carbon gaskets. I received a gasket made of aluminum, basically foil, and carbon which could equate to cardboard. The gaskets were warped, scratched and the layers are literally peeling apart. The engineer told me to toss them as he cannot use it. I made contact with them and the below is their response.......

"These gaskets are not even as terrible as you exclaim, we use these on a lot of custom applications that have been over skimmed , when torqued down between the cylinder head and block the gaskets will make perfect contact, we have Victor reinz gaskets that split apart but are not supposed to be split deliberately the way you are doing here, this is not supposed to be done at all on any gasket, we unfortunately cannot refund the gaskets as it is custom made esactly like the sample you provided us with, the only other option you have is to contact our competition which is alrode gaskets, and they are even more pricey asking easily 3k per gasket, we billed only 1.5 per gasket and you got free delivery,

gaskets are certainly not warped though and should still work perfectly, once torqued to spec

also the head gaskets are Metal and carbon, you wrote a review that is not truthful either stating we've supp**** you with paper gaskets witch is false

we doint keep any paper gaskets on hand, its either we supply metal or carbon or a hardened pvc type

we also informed you that there wont be a refund for the work done on the gaskets, we made it very clear

we used your old gasket and the stensil you provided to size and shape and reproduce the gaskets to the specification you supp**** us with

its not gonna affect anything, the gaskets will work properly and they do align as we cross refrenced with the sample gaskets you provided us with, you can still use them, they are made with a mls steel top and graphite bottom for better sealing, these will work they always do"
