Good head gasket to raise compression.
While im puttin' in my cams, I might'd as well take the head off and put a new head gasket in. Just curious what's a good gasket to raise compression and maintain longevity. Thanks.

Try one of TODA's headgasket. They offer them in different thickness.

theres a big difference between dropping in cams and pulling a head. pulling a head just to put in an overpriced headgasket isnt worth it to me, but if u do you should get the head resurfaced, and while its at the machine shop u could have them mill it a little, possibly valve job while its there. and since its apart, have them assemble it w/ new springs & retainers.

The man asked a question, I simply answered, not jump into some theology in tuning. He wants a good headgasket, buy TODA. Is it overpriced? Yeah definitely. Is it good, probably so. Did he ask for people to be cynical? Nope.

In this day and age, everything is overpriced. Since everything is overpriced, we should all keep our cars for it's intended purpose, fuel economy.
