Elring ones are wrong

We get this a lot at work the ones on the right will work fine but damage the ally on the head ever so slightly. A lot of aftermarket stuff does this now adays as it saves money on production. At least thing is what im told.
I find cv boot grease on the "washer" surface limits the amount of damge to most of the time nothing
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

Big thanks to Powerandtorque for looking on service box, but the head bolts have been superceded (sp?) to the newer type
