In the Market for a new Head Gasket.. Need your advice..

i'm looking to buy a new head gasket for my new build up.. Looking to get a 83 mm bore head gasket.. i'm also planning on getting 9.0:1 weisco pistons.. this is gonna be going on my built GSR turbo motor..

I can't decide on either cometic, GE, or Inline Pro.

I've always used the Coometic head gaskets and they are fine.

I'd go with Cometic, I personally have never seen nor used one myself.
I've heard nothing but good things from Cometic, and Veirn can get them for like $125ish I think.

Kudos to those guys who have done it, but I like to know that I have all the bases covered (or most of it)

Yes. They are the best gasket to use if your block is O-ringed. I love OEMs, so I would rather choose a GE. However, that isn't to say that there is anything wrong with the cometics/inlinepros.
