What is the best head gasket to use for a turbo car?

i have used cometic before and didnt have no problem with it.

also someone told me that golden eagle uses factory honda head gaskets.

thanks

OEM Honda HG's are used pretty regularly. Another good one (from what i've heard) is Cometic. I have no first hand experience with the latter though...

Had the same dilemma and majority said OEM. Went finally with OEM victor Reinz MLS ... So far 300 miles on the new build and running perfect.

OEM will be fine.

If you could, bring ALL of your questions in as few new threads as possible. we don't mind helping out a lot of questions on one thread that you make, please.

thanks, looks like i will go oem. you may delete this thread if possible. is it possible to have a stock head gasket cut out to 84mm

sure is, IF you have the equipment to do it, It ISNT a DIY job....thats exactly what golden eagle does....I've used OEM headgaskets on my turbo LS now for years without any problems...and I plan on using a golden eagle head gasket on my 84mm lsv-t that I am currently building....You can use a b20 HG if you are in a bind

You can try, but it won't matter because you'll need to sleeve the motor to get 84mm. If you can afford that, you don't need to waste time on "making" a gasket.

i meant can a shop do it. i have 2 new b16 head gaskets sitting here and cant sell them for $30 each. I thinking instead of letting them sit there use them.

thanks
