Re: gasket set for 1600
Kinda reminds me of a post I did a few years ago...

- Why are there 3 twinport manifold gaskets?
- Why are there 17 pushrod tube seals?
- What are the purposes of the different round rubber seals, more or less in the centre of the pic?
- What are the purposes of the different round metal rings, to the top right of the pic? (I think one is for the sump plate drain plug)

Re: gasket set for 1600
Important to still buy the white type pushrod-tube seals separately. Many of the red types of pushrod seals that come with the kits, are not resistant to oil and temperature, causing hardening resulting in oil leaks. The better white type is available from Juergen in Strand, Gerhard in Bloemfontein and many others.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
