Hey guys.

I'm at the stage of my build where I need to think about the head gasket.
I've done some reading and some people say the stock HG is fine and some people say to go with a Cometic HG.

My setup:
B16A2 with stock sleeves.
Wiseco turbo pistons 8:1 CR
Eagle Rods.
ARP head and main studs.
Holset HX35

Aiming for 350-400hp.

Will an OEM HG be ok, or should I get a Cometic or some other brand?

Thanks

 

Oem is best.

 

I've had no issues with:
- OEM/Golden Eagle
- Cometic
- Felpro

 

oem is fine. i changed my headgasket from a cometic to a felpro two years ago. most likely wont buy another cometic

 

no issues with ebay 22$ gaskets, on turbo'ed setups. specifically evergreen brand. Used probably 10 of them, 5 being turboed, with success. Its MLS, it will seal if the deck surfaces are flat.
