Fel pro makes a couple different versions, but this one is embossed. What happens is when you clamp down on the bolts (Torque to spec or whatever you're comfortable with) the embossed part flattens out. I've used these for about 10 years, and never have they leaked. They're so easy as well, as they just fall off, wipe down the surfaces, and install a new one.
They're only good for one shot, but for a couple of dollars, it's well worth not having to deal with that goop.
Welcome to buying parts in Canada....just the way it is, sure it has to do with taxes and tariffs but costs of parts are usually a minimum 50% more up here. I priced out some tune up and servicing parts for my daughter 02 Neon, through Rockauto was around $250 Cnd, local parts shop wanted over $700 for the same parts!

My god....
That's insane. I get the idea that you live in God's country, but that's a heck of a price to pay for being so lucky to live where you do.
Let's hope the new trade deal goes through, and you (Canada) benefits from it.
Again.
Why?
What causes this economic burden upon the fine people of Canada? Corrupt politicians like we have here? Or is there some other factor guiding this ?
