I almost have all my parts lined up to start my b20/b16 turbo build and I need to buy a 84mm headgasket. I was inclining to OEM but then came across Golden eagle and JE Pro Seal headgaskets. Has anyone use either of them? I tried searching it here on HT but I was not able to find anything.

People use the GE one all the time...literally any of their products are all top notch. I'm sure someone around here is using the JE

Someone saw the Facebook ads lol

Golden Eagle head gaskets are OEM gaskets laser cut for larger bores.

The JE seems to work well on Subarus, which are notorious for headgasket failures.

Although the OEM Honda gasket literally takes care of most builds ranging from stock to 600+ WHP.

I wouldn't bother with anything else besides OEM / Golden Eagle unless you are building a motor with special requirements. I would personally try the JE Pro Seal before venturing into O-ringed block and such.

Let me be the first to say, I use ebay head gaskets for my turbo builds with 100% success so far.

if you can use OEM, USE it, b20 gaskets, etc. Otherwise Ive been using JE Proseal this year 40-48psi boost no issue. Its all about preperation, surface, torque!

Got a JE pro Seal in my car, GE sleeves/step decked no O-ring 800+ no problem.

That doesn't mean anything or prove anything. Ebay parts are about sh*t quality control. Within 100 gaskets sold, 90 of them could be no good. Consider yourself lucky you got a few good ones.
