Mahle Gaskets?

Trav-O · Jan 8, 2014

First, I have heard of them. Mahle Black Diamond Head Gaskets. Anyone have experience with them? How are they compared to factory gaskets?

Sure RCD will chime in, as I believe josh worked with them to develop them

There is an explanation on RCD's Facebook page.

Victor Reinz made the black onyx gaskets that were junk. The new black diamond by mahle are different. They are the same as oem just different color. I believe RCD, Midwest Diesel, and MPD all use the black diamond gaskets.

Yes, I specifically asked when I ordered.
I just didn't wanna do the same gamble of what failed me. So I just got a set of oem, and it's been flawless so far.
