    Default Question about metal head gasket? SR20DET? 240sx?

    Hey my head gasket blew. I am trying to replace it with a metal one. Which one should I go with Cometic(cheaper) or Greddy(expensive), also the sizes im looking at 1.2mm or 1.4mm? in addtion and the bore size on stand is 86 is standard. Most greddy gaskets bore sizes are 87mm or 88mm. Please I need help with which one to go with? Also, getting an after market intake manifold good to go with?

    Get the Cometic gasket. The greddy one is overpriced for nothing any better, same as HKS. Get the stock bore size unless your changing the pistons and bore size.

    if you got the extra cash and time to get one, go Apex'i. Since it said to be the best..

    but

    I have a cometic with arp's.. been working great so far.. 5000 miles, lots of hard driving and a drift event on it.. no problems at all.

    make sure you resurface the block and the head or you WILL more than likely have problems.
