Headgasket for B16
I seem to be leaking coolant, and it looks like its coming from where the head meets the block.
i seem to have a blown headgasket, well thats all i can think of at least. But the coolant does not seem to be mixing with the oil at least.
So, if I need to replace the headgasket, I figured i'd upgrade, what should i get?
I am looking to spend under $200 for the gasket itself.
Thanks

If you're not boosted, there is no point. If you are boosted and don't plan on pushing more than 10psi, there is no point.
Just stay stock.
If you are boosted and pushing a lot, any headgasket made of copper will do nicely. Which means, find the least expensive.

Re: Headgasket for B16 (Spade)
if your head gasket really is starting to go youll notice youll be blowing a bit of whitish blue smoke and as time goes on itll get worse also keep a close eye on your temp.gauge

Nope. The stock head gaskets are fine.
