51406, somebody help me out
Posted by HDW823, May-19-03 09:23 AM
I just returned from satan with the completed lower control arm recall and they informed me that I have a leaking headgasket. I've search the forum and it seems everybody goes with the dealer mls. My question is does anybody make a performance metal one like hks or greddy? I know for my supra hks makes a couple. I've searched the internet but haven't had any luck. It's a common problem I know somebody has to make one. Thanks.

Heather

BTW, satan once told me my headgasket was leaking. Took the car a recommended DSM mechanic, and it turns out it really wasnt. My compression was 215/215/210/215. Dont trust satan, get a second opinion on your headgasket before you spend hundreds of dollars.

Well just because you are not loosing comp does not mean it's not leaking, it just means it's not leaking into a cilinder. It could very well be leaking oil onto your block but not letting any pressure out of the cilinders. As far as the HG goes I would get the stock MLS HG. Most people here run it although there is a copper alternative that some people run. That new MLS HG from satan is great though, ask Dino if it holds.

Yeah, the new OEM MLS head gasket is a very nice piece. It has been updated i believe several times, to the new current one, which is almost bullet proof. From what i know, none of us turboed guys have had a MLS gasket go out on them...

felpro has a gasket out that has a silicone layer on top of an mls setup, its a nice piece as long with the victor reinz one. Make sure its not your valve cover gasket leaking...
