What gasket to get for 14 PSI car? OEM or aftermarket?
I'm rebuilding my engine. Built bottom end with ITR head running max 14 PSI. What gasket should I get? OEM or an aftermarket company (MUGEN, ... etc).
Don't worry about money ... just don't want to blow gaskets offten. Doing it right the first time.
Thanks,
Adam

On our race car we used OEM with an O-ring seal and it lasted 30psi + 150shot of nos all year. So OEM honda will hold. If you ever go after market go with a cometic gasket.

If you want to boost crazy... lets not forget to have your head and block modified to accept 1/2 inch headstuds.
