Default Itr Head Gasket??

cars been boiling fluids into the resevoir, when rad cap is off it bubbles while giving it throttle, im pretty sure its the head gasket

any aftermarket headgaskets that are better then oem, think i saw something somewhere that there was a head gasket that raised compression? Or should i just stick with oem?

Whoa...can 'o worms here.

Might want to check your fluid color...oil and coolant. Also, might need to bleed the coolant.

Headgaskets...Mugen has a 2 layer that bumps compression slightly. I had it on my car for about 6 weeks before something else happened that was a bit on the catastrophic side, but not head gasket related at all.

The oem is a good headgasket, but you can try Toda Racing that has the same thickness or Spoon and Mugen that has a thinner gasket.

HKS, TODA, Spoon, Mugen are all good aftermarket and they bump up your compression a bit

the TODA does not raise compression...
it comes in .6mm (stock), .8mm & 1.0mm (these 2 will lower your compression)
