Are BGA (BG Automotive) cylinder head gaskets any good?
Any better options?
Thanks
Les

If your engine is a small block engine (up to 1098cc) the gasket in the link below is good.

Mini Spares also do a similar gasket for large block engines (1275cc).

As Phil recommends. The Minispares gasket is excellent. The quality is obvious when comparing to the ESM equivalent.

I’ve used the Victor Reinz and the BK540 on the Midget 1275 but the Minispares own copper gasket seems best developed and worked well for me.
There are indeed too many options and I’m sure that on various forums you will find people who prefer each one. The Reinz and BK540 take more cleaning when it comes to replacing them. I got through both in less than 1000 miles. The Minispares has done almost 8k miles and is holding up well at the moment.
