Recomended 3.0 head gasket?

I have to replace my head gasket on my 92 truck, with the 3vz-e. What is the best head gasket kit that isn't going to blow up on me (engine has had 2 gaskets already) I have seen regular OEM gaskets, Fel-Pro, multi layer steel, and copper gaskets..

Stay AWAY from fAIL-Pro crappy GASKETS. OEM is the way we go, or you could check out DOA motorsports they got some pretty hard core parts,expensive but good.

See my thread on 3vze head gaskets, specifically post #16, for my recommendations.

Check mytoyota to see if it is recall worthy. As far as gaskets, I can't tell you. I'll find out which ones my first mechanic used, or didn't use, and you can avoid them. Just had mine replaced last week and the mechanic said there are no signs of the engine ever being apart. Just tighten the headbolts and charge yourself $700 for doing so. Good luck on set #3 for ya!
