I need a pic of a 1g turbo head gasket!!!!

[ZyklonBZombie]

i need a picture of a STOCK 1g turbo head gasket. when i say stock i mean one from mitsubishi, not a felpro or top line one. why you ask??? because i am taking my head to the machine shop to replace some bent valves and in my 6 to 7 years of being into DSMs i have never seen a factory head gasket. the gasket that was on my car (it came from a 91 gsx automatic engine... that is now in my 92 tsi) has 4 layers and is all metal. my bro said it is a high perf. one and that they are reusable but i am doubting that it is and will probably just use a felpro anyways. but i am curious as to what the stock ones look like as they did from the factory.

Strange Question? I heard they are reusable also but have not heard of any one actually reusing one. If someone has could you please post here? I have one that was used for 600 miles and would like to know if it is safe. As far as stock Head Gasket I dont see why it would be any different from a standard cheap head gasket.

They look like a felpro...a slight bit beefier but pretty much the same thing.

Friendly piece of advice, don't use a Felpro. At least not the stock replacement felpro. I've seen them blow in a very short amount of miles on dsms, they're not constructed to handle boost pressures. An OEM one from any of our supporting vendors should cost you $50 or less (what I paid anyways). Worth paying a little more IMO.

i have had felpro's with ARP's last thousands of miles with 18-20 lbs on 16g's.

And I've seen them last 20 miles. On a well machined head and block I might add. You yourself sell the Mitsu OEM one for $49 it's worth it

I agree with you 100%, im not promoting the use of a felpro by any means but they do work. You are correct though, for 49 dollars for an OEM one (only like 10 dollars more than a Felpro) its well worth it to just get one and call it a day.

A stock mistsubishi head gasket is made of felt material.

As far as Ive seen and know the mls is from the 420a motor.

The MLS head gasket is from the EVO III. The 420a is a Dodge motor from the Neon...big difference. The OEM Mitsu gaskets in the US were all felt.
