I got a .074" 4 Layer MLS head gasket from Cometic. I'm using the headgasket on my boosted B16. Should I use the ARP head studs or can I keep my stocks?

since your head is already off might as well replace them with arp's... save you the trouble down the road

i agree use some studs they are stronger as well. i dont have much experience with thick head gaskets, but if your bolts are too short you may wanna look at getting some gsr studs they are a little bit longer than B16's

 

ARP is cool
Cometic is **** (their customer service anyway)

 

the gaskets are good i have a friend that is making 497whp and had no problems with it

 

Cool. Thanks for the fast feedback.

 

you shouldnt reuse stock headbolts anyways

 

Definetly use the ARP's, as stated above head bolts should not be re-used. I actually prefer AEBS, but I dont know how much longer they will be available due to AEBS closing its doors
Cometic gaskets are awesome, we use them in every application we work on.

 

I plan on getting new headbolts also. Going to go with the OEM headbolts though.

Cometic makes awesome hg's and their customer service is A+.

May I ask who you talked with in customer service.
