What issues were there with a cometic head gasket??? I soon will be installing it with my 2.3l stroker rebuild... .5mm oversized pistons and valves....

 

Just not the same quality as an OEM or the AMS. I heard only lasts a year on built setups.

 

So the Cometic is not recommended? I dont need the head gasket blowing through at 1 year... but then again.. the rebuild kit has an OEM head gasket with it... so I may just use that... I may call and replace... hows the cosworth?

 

Cosworth is one of the better I heard, but I think if your kit comes with OEM stick with it. OEM is a good way to go.

 

yea, going ot return the cometic head gasket..

 

Exactly what I did when SBR sent me one, then I bought the AMS machined gasket.

 

/\ good choice.

 

In my eyes, OEM has been tested to meet certain expectations and so many people have ben running it without issue, you shouldn't be any different

 

Oem Rick!
I pme'd you back but got no reply.
Stay away from cometic. They did tests and proved they were junk!
There is a thread about it on here somewhere.

 

Oem has lasted on 1000hp cars with o rings i think thats enough proof for me to run one

 

like it has been said here a few times. there have been many 9 sec evo's that use oem with o-rings. its the only way to go.

 

what o-rings??? im going to build my engine for 700 whps... and im going to use the oem gasket... also i have the regular arp head studs, i need the L19????

 

If a jew says it's a good deal, then it must be a good deal
