Thread: What headgaskets should I get?

My motor is almost done I'm ordering the final parts I need but I am stuck between two headgaskets one being oe and the other Cometic I know that cometic makes a great headgasket what is everyone else using?

OE, I don't think I'd ever use anything else for headgaskets.

This! Not something worth chancing.

You know what I think

Cometic makes good gaskets. But if you could afford OEM than i would buy oem.

Go with a MLS head gasket. Cometics fall apart much easier especially if coolant gets on them plus they won't hold as much boost. There's a reason Mitsubishi used MLS head gaskets on these cars. I've heard of good success with the eBay MLS head gaskets and side by side other than the stamping #s I can't tell the difference between OEM and non-OEM. I prefer to pay for OEM but I also would rather have the peace of mind for an extra $50 even if the quality is the same between them.

I have mls eBay ones but I wanna do it once right the first time

Also where do I get the torque specs for the motor from?
