use OEM...... why bother with cosworth? Talk to headgames since they designed your head. Stock HG is very good on evo.

5 bar sensor, buried, stock head gasket. I have a hard time believing the hype that was written on the Cosworth gasket when the guy who wrote it can't keep a head gasket on the EVO he is involved with.

I'll take the Mitsubishi gasket.

Can't argue with that .... but the fact of the matter is it IS a cosworth gasket on the car and I'm not gunna pull it off the thing is pushing coolant (which may be sooner then later the way everyone speaks about it)

Dave , any personal experience with the cossie gasket going bad?

Had a oem mls on there pushing cylinder pressure to the cooling system... decked head / checked block and installed the cosworth gasket.... fml, the project never ends!
