alright, i have a bad head gasket in my motor. wondering what kind of head gasket too use. gonna be running 20 to 25lbs of boost. cosmetic or a oem honda both are 3 layers metal? Need every ones input in this thanks

 

If your running 20-25psi your best bet would be to have the block sleeved. O-Ring the deck and run a copper gasket.

 

the block has darton sleeves eagle rods and je 9:1 pistons. Dartons web site is saying cosmetic..

 

Cometic.......I know what Darton recommends I have a set if M.I.D sleeves myself. SCE Gaskets recommends to O-Ring your block and run a copper gasket with a high compression or turbo build.

All I am saying is if your running that high boost, why would you chance it using an OEM type MLS gasket? O-Ring the sleeves and run a 0.030 copper gasket.

There are a few different makes out there for around $70. There are also a few rubberized ones for $90.
