Anyone ever heard of cometic head gaskets? if so have you used them? how do they work? are they good for forced induction?

thanks tim

 

Anyone who works around performance parts a lot has most likely heard of them. Very expensive gaskets, but great quality. I haven't used them but may buy some for my upcoming H/C/I swap. They are awesome for forced Induction, but like I said, they are pricey.

 

im familiar with them, they're expensive like $75 a piece. on the other hand they're virtually unblowable. so if your gonna spend that much on them i hope you have a heavily boosted car, because otherwise you might as well go with regular ones.

 

ive talked about these before and everyone was responding like i was a three headed cyclops....

I plan on using a set on my 306

 

we run them on are 347 blown car. had to use them because we kept blowing out the others. the cost about 80 each. but they have been the best invesment yet. we run 17 psi and they wont blow

 

yea i know but if you have to get heads o-ringed then its not much differance.

 

sweet, well here is the bad news i blew a hg on my gt. my mr gasket ultra seals and bad tune did not hold them, so now i need to pull the heads off and put some new gaskets on and put it back togeather. one thing is the hg has been blown for awhile and i did not know it, it will push water out of the coolant system if you run boost. it has done that ever since i put the blower on, so we will see how it runs on all 8 after i get it put back togeather.
