Sorry to be a pain Lukas but is this for your replacement engine?
If so it depends what its from!

I've always used anything for a 2.9 V12 - never found any difference in fittings. The only difference I've found is that the inlet manifold gasket is thicker on quality brands but is a simple "cardboard" looking gasket on cheap sets. When using the latter you need to torque the inlet manifold down a bit more that specified.

Is this for the engine you're going to fit to your car? If so then it might be worth considering a cam upgrade - as per your postings elsewhere. Most definitely worth it

Yeah, and since having 2 pairs of heads, I can try carefully porting and polishing a set + a cam upgrade should give a good improvment.

What cam you got on your car??
