Nippon Reinz head gaskets? good?

[1990CherryTSI]

They sell a gasket set from the headgasket up on partznet.com, has anyone heard of this one or used it? i'm thinking of getting this gasket set for all the extra gaskets and getting the 4 layer, but if this one is good i'll just stick with it. I also plan on running around 18 lbs so maybe the 4 layer would be the way to go. i'm gonna run arp also. main question, head gasket good or no?

use OEM...

I will not say NO that its not good, but i know that OEM gasket w/arp's is a great way to go

I agree with Candela. For 95% of the people out there a stock HG installed properly, using the correct torque sequence, can't be beat.

See if you can find anything about them on the web. Chances are good that they're the OE manufacturer.

I don't know were you'd go to get _bad_ head gaskets anymore. It's not a very mysterious field of development by now.

Felpro.

That's interesting. After 35 years at this, someone finally is the first to say something negative about FelPro.

Well, someone had to eventually, I suppose.
