33582, Victor Reinz HEAD GASKET?
Posted by dougie2, Sep-25-02 04:01 AM
Has anyone used this head gasket? I have one and I'm wondering if there are any problems with it or any sealants or anything I should use with it.

I think that HG is carried by Carquest part stores. The one I bought for my lady's Neon was multi-layer and has worked fine. They are kinda expensive but work fine.

It's an MLS type gasket and it has a teflon (I think) seal around it. The instructions say that no sealant is needed. I plan on using it in a stage 3+ turbo application.

I'm all for trying new things but I don't think I would be the first one to try that HG on a stage 3+ application. I would use the one that the other stage 3+ guy's use.... the stock replacement MLS. But if you already bought it then you may as well use it, just check it regularly to make sure it holds.

parts have to meet standards that meet or exceed manufacturers specs
