#29328, "which head gasket to use"


          

I will most likely be doing a head gasket next week any ideas on a good one? Is it a good idea to get a thinner one to raise comp.? I am kinda on a tight budget so price is a major factor too.

It doesn't really matter which gasket you get. There are good ones out there and from what i've heard our stock gaskets are actually very good. someone else?

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

Well IMO the stock ones suck because this one has only been on for a year and a half and is now blown. Anybody else got any ideas?

For keeping stock compression go with the stock MLS gasket, it has been redesigned 3 times and now is a good 4 layer gasket that seals well, and as noted in a previous post makle sure to spray the copper gasket sealer on it.

If you want to raise compression you can get a .022" copper HG from Gasket Works - http://www.headgasket.com

About what would the .022 head gasket raise my comp too? I will mostlikely be going with that because I do not plan on going turbo anytime soon.

I have the MLS headgasket, but it's only 3 layer. It looks badass and from what I hear it works great.
