1G Head gasket decision

[enriquez2000]

Ok.. i searched and every person has different opinion. Goal for the 6bolt buil is 4 to 500hp. Will the composites hold up to that? I know they can for a while usually but this is a daily.

Im not a fan of mls because if you dont get it right the first time its a real b***h to ever seal right. Yes i know about machine work involved to make it seal but you also have to trust the shop doing it to get proper finish.

Juat want opinions. Thank you

Felpro? The permatorq has a good rep

Lol Jesus. You better do 1/2" studs and a filled block for that.

You clearly have not searched. There are tons putting down 500 on a composite. I just did 640 on one. If you have problems
Keeping one in, it's the tune or the head is soft, not the gasket.

Did search.. but got tons of conflicting of info. Which gasket did you use? Youre one of the guys id trust on here so i value your opinion.

OEM Mitsu composite head gasket and arp head studs should be sufficient.
