in other communities using HKS headgaskets, i have never heard of any other gasket available being the same. If they dont make them themselves, they are an exclusive item to them

HKS Headgaskets

Are they available in larger bore sizes now or just stock?

Phunk when you say stock does that mean if you build and go .020 over the gaskets will be to small?

I'd imagine a machine shop could bore out the gaskets for you.

the HKS headgaskets are suitable for up to .060 over without concern.

Hey GUys

I just got the HKS hg's before i dropped off my car...and these do NOT have any rings around the bore; they are embossed only. very disappointed.

its not supposed to an actual ring, just a folded over layer to create greater sealing pressure just around the cylinder walls

Do the HKS hg's have that, charles? I didn't look close enough. Do you honestly think that these are better than the stock ones (because they have rings)? What do you think?
