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!

 

anything guys?

 

cmon guys... -_-

 

Engnbldr.

 

engnbldr uses rock gaskets as theres and ive had a bad experince with rock, blown HG after 20k miles to me is unacceptable, might just go to the stealership.....

 

I use felpro get em at advance or auto zone I've used em on beaters to a 326 hp crx I had and never had one blow so I love em and its like 30 bucks for a h,gasket but that's my option bro

 

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

sheesh.

 

oem

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?

 

oem xwhatever

 

oem it is then, its 58$ at the stealership -_-

 

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

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
