I blew my head gasket on my 95 GT mustang for the second time in a year, Yes I did everything correctly, yes I had my heads resurfaced (mods in signature) Anyways, I'm thinking I should go with some mls head gaskets this time, But I'm unsure of which brand is best for performance engines (please look in my signature at the mods done to the car) So I'd like to know through your own experience of which mls head gasket would be best for a performance engine, also I have arp head bolts can I re-use them? this will be the third time of reusing them, Thanks guys

What head gaskets were you running?

Cometic head gasket,SCE, Titan. Why is the question. I see nothing in the build that would cause blown head gaskets. Supposed to measure the head bolts then when they go beyond a certain length, discard. Or was that the rod bolts....

Any TTY hardware is a 1 shot deal, discard after the first time they get loosened. But yes, why is the question. And MLS head gaskets are a bit of a pia to use, you have to machine the block and heads to a lower ra finish so they seal properly.

The stock type replacement Felpro 9333pt1 and 8548pt2 both use an MLS type core, but are a graphite composite gasket material, so they don't require the same sealing prep as an actual MLS gasket does.

Something is gone on like said there is no real reason that you should be losing head gaskets. I have run the Fel-Pros and Cometic head gaskets on both Aftermarket heads and stock Iron heads without the proper RA and have had no issues at all with any of the builds I have done but I have seen people that have had issues with doing it.. Both are great head gaskets. But like said before the graphite ones work very well also. When you get it back apart take a good look at everything again.
