Anyone with experience with Mahle head gaskets?


Recommended Posts

Thank you, but you did not answer the question.  It could be a better answer than the one I'm looking for, though, so let's break it down.

70.88 USD + 16.52 USD (shipping to Canada) = 87.40 USD = 115.41 CAD

Mahle:

78.68 CAD + 5.30 CAD (shipping as part of a larger order) = 83.98 CAD

For comparison, my local dealer is quoting 179.12 CAD for pair (of #633).

So I can get OEM gaskets from ebay for a 37% higher price than these Mahle MLMs.

Back to the original question:  Does anyone have any experience with the Mahle gasket that would indicate the cost saving is or isn't worth it?

My advice is the few dollars saved is not worth the risk. Do know Mahle manufacture chainsaw engine cylinders that have a good reputation for quality. 

On one hand, that makes perfect, reliable, practical sense.  On the other, if nobody tries the Mahle future generations will search here in vain for the answer to this question.

So I'm going to try them.  For the children.

Way to go. Everything we have today good and bad is because someone experimented.

Don't forget to post the results even if it is a year from now, otherwise no one will know.
