Head Gasket; OEM vs aftemarket
Hello guys..

Im doing rebuild on my EVO MR.

I went 2.0 stock bore and forge internals.

My previous set up is bolts ons and E85 380whp.

Nothing wrong with my HG.

Rebuild goal power is 400-430 for Track runs.

Do i need to upgrade my HG to some aftermarket one?

Or stick to OEM?

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Oem is made from multi-layer steel. Much better than most if not all aftermarket head gaskets.
