Iv'e just blown my oem golden eagle headgasket with o ring. Is it ok to use a different type of headgasket such as cometic or etc.. or do I only have to use the oem oversize one from golden eagle with copper spray this time, but I still can't believe I blew a headgasket with a little more than over 800 miles on it and the block is o ringed how's this possible.

Oh yeah I've seen cometic hg blown on one pass. my buddy than put on an OEM and has had the same hg for about 5 months now. you can also tell by the material both hg use. OEM for us.

 

It's just another bandwagon type thing. Sure OEM is great, but I've ALSO seen one blow on the first pass. You can't really determine a products quality by 1 example. But I've used cometic now for 3 years without a single HG problem. In fact, I just ordered another one for my car because I got a damn compression tester stuck in the head and I'm gonna have to remove it to get it out. Pain in the ***!!!

I say give it a shot. I've always been one to find out by doing it. If you never try, you may never know!!!
