You don't have to go metal head gasket. I mean head gaskets only blow for a reason. Over heating. Other than that a head gasket can last forever. So like they said. Just pick up an OEM head gasket and stick with that. It's cheaper and serves the same purpose.

The only reason to go with anything other than stock is to change the compression. And if you built the bottom end you are probably happy with the compression.
