Sup guys? Well I placed my order for my Evo3 16G today(E. PSI). So I decided I needed to go ahead and replace my old fel-pro head gasket(got car hot but retorqued the head back down and its been running good for about 2 months but who knows). SO my questions is I see that DSMparts has the 4 layer Metal HG and ARP studs. I'm going to get the head resurfaced. My question is well the deck have to be resurfaced to match the metal HG? Some Hunda :beatentodeath: guy was telling me I have to get the deck resurfaced to match the HG.

Also I'm getting a FMIC from ebay.
 
Just check the block and head for straightness. If you overheated you will probably need to get the head decked. Block takes a little more to warp. Make sure you clean both area's very well before installing the gasket.
