Do you wantto hear my first thought?

WellI am going to tell you anyway! You seem like a good member, 4th gear member I see! But someone like you, thats spends quite a bit of time on here should know...... That bumping your thread makes some people angry! And Since I am in a bitchy mood lately, and adderisnt here to **** peple off I will! So stop bumping this thread after less than two hours. People do read it, as there where 14 people that viewed it. Just give it time and the asnwer will come! And if you needed to know what head gasket to use right away then the serach feature is there for a reason!

what type of heads?

As for head bolts, use ARP studs if you're not already.

from the opinions and research I have done for my own decision of head gasket. On a stock head, you're going to have too crappy of a deck to worry about getting a brass or cometic gasket. Most will tell you to just get the felpro. However, it ultimately is up to you. I'd at least spend the money to have the heads decked if you were to spend the money on a cometic gasket.
