Best Head Gasket for 22RE?
What's the best heed gasket for the 22RE?
I'm thinking Felpro or OEM

Not looking for something that will blow out in a year

Anyone have any advice?
What are you using and how long has it been running?

Go with Toyota or one from Engnbldr - DO NOT USE A FELPRO GASKET - you're just asking for trouble

Go OEM.
Make sure you get the head machined properly!
The finish should be like a mirror and no jagged edges around any holes.
I had a head machined using the "rough" method and the gasket popped in a year.

OEM. Think about how long the first one lasted.
