3vze MLS head gaskets!!

If you search on Ebay for "3vze" you will find quite a few Multi Layer Steel headgaskets for the 3vze.

Obviously these require a much smoother surface than the graphite gaskets, but I was wondering has anyone tried them??

They are good for turbo applications, and might be overkill on most NA applications. But in the case of the 3ZVE, considering the headgasket problems they are known for: would it really be a bad idea?

I guess you'd want to make sure you have good corrosion inhibitors in your coolant with steel headgaskets huh?
