recommendation for head gasket for evo 9

Hello EvoM!

I'm about to install S2's/beehive springs with titanium retainers/head studs.
Should I replace the head gasket ?
If so, which one do you guys use?
I will stick with stock turbo for couple months.

BTW what is the stock head gasket dimensions ?
is it bore 86mm / thickness 1.3mm ?

Thank you!

Might as well if your going to be removing the head to do the studs. Oem head gasket is the way to go. proven to handle alot of power.

When it comes to engine components like timing belt, water pump, head gaskets etc. OEM is always the best choice.
