nothing wrong, but they only come in one size thickness vs cometic multi-size custom made

Would recomend you stay away. I used one on my build and Jeff Evans (Neptune) advised me to go back to stock. I already had ARP head studs plus much more. Check my sig if you want more info.

checked your sig but i didnt get any information on why NOT to go with a cometic. im not bashing, im just interested. i was told that a cometic is actually better than an oem gasket. note i was only told, and i did not research further. i was planning on boost.

I only meant to check my car out to see what kind of mods/ HP it has and that it has a honda HG.

Re: (lsvtecdz)
I was really hesitant with getting a cometic head gasket as well since I've heard a lot of mixed reviews. Ended going with the advice from RedZone performance since I had them assemble all my parts and dyno tune. Since my compression was gonna be uber high (gsr block with jdm ctr oversized pistons), I ended up going with a cometic .51" head gasket. Haven't had any problems with it yet
