Default 85mm B18C headgasket options

Golden Eagle (bored OEM hg) -- So far is my first choice.
Cometic -- I hear people have problems with these.
Endyn? -- I cannot find information about this piece.

Any other options?

What is "the best" out of that list? Compression will not be totally wild, 12:1, and revvs will probably see 9000 occasionally.

TIA
Marshall

I am running an 85mm B18C5 block and also have a Cometic head gasket. I have not had any problems and the motor revs to 9800rpms. I am also running AEBS sleeves. Good luck with the build.

I hear so much about Cometic problems but I have never had one fail on me. I have used about 5-6 different gaskets in different motors.

Go Cometic, Ross at Tuners Choice has tons in stock

Cometic seems like the best choice they used it in the B-series build so that has to mean something
