Were do people get 2ply and 1ply HG? Or do they just peel a layer off an OEM one? Not thread jacking just felt it would be relavent in the thread.

OEM. the second person to post said he used felpro. of the bad things i have heard of cometic i have hear A LOT more good things about them so later on the road when i need a different sized HG i will probably go with a cometic.

i like the felpro. seems to be as good as qaulity as OEM headgaskets.

One thing i do is always wash down the gasket with soap and water and let it dry while im removing the head. to be sure everything is clean and that there arent any flaws in the gasket.

Re: (GsR92HaTcH)

A head gasket is a head gasket. Get the one that puts you at the compression you want.

I use OEM for my 12:1 B18C1.
