engine build what head gasket should i use?

[bmwracing_6]

I am building my engine with wiseco pistons and eagle rods I had it bored 20 over to clean out the cylinder walls and have a nice tight fit. But I still need to buy an head gasket I was thinking of the copper gasket I forgot who makes them but what else is good for my application after the rebuild and is there a certain size I should use? I will be running the stock 14b until this summer when I have to money to invest into the supporting mods for my holset turbo I have. I plan on making around 500hp on this setup with of course many other mods to support the holset turbo.

I have always used an mls type gasket, great wether cometic or mitsu..

for your goals, go with cometic, but be SURE to have the head and block level, or it will not last long.

I would also like to add if you do get this make sure you get someone who has fooled with these before. I have had problems getting these to seal properly which has caused problems, I have always had to torque my head down to atleast 95 ft/lbs to get these to seal atleast. As with the mitsu mls have always torqued them down the 85 ft/lbs and used stock head bolts in the past and never had a problem. I am not saying that you should use stock, definately get arp. Just a little info from personal experience..

I have been using mitsu metal HG for a while, and installed on a few cars.
Its a great HG, and you cant go wrong with it.

Go to auto zone or where ever and get you some copper spray as well.
