82 22r headgasket choice

hey guys, looked for a thread on this, i remember seeing it but couldnt find it so here it is, bought an 82 pickup, needs a head gasket, ive used a rock head gasket before (yes everything was done right, machine block, head, retorque etc etc) and it blew in 20k miles so staying away from rock, but is there anymore companies that produce a good headgasket beside toyota oem? if i can find anything in the next few weeks thats what i do but id rather have other imput, thanks a bunch guys!

If you already know OEM is the best, why even ask? Everything else is inferior...

If you had a rock gasket go in 20k miles, why would you not go oem after that? Is tearing it all down and re doing it a 3rd time worth saving $28?

if you want it to last , you might consider a MLS head gasket .

http://www.shopengineparts.com/parts...22R+2.4L+81-95

little bit more money , and you will absolutly need to machine to at least 15RA but well worth the cost . 22r series headgaskets are very common for failier , even the OE gasket
