Okay since my headgasket blew I need a new one...

Should I put in the nissan headgasket or should I go for the Cometic or HKS ?

whats the main difference? thicker? more layers?

will I lose more power due of the thickness?


danke

 

The HKS look very promising. I'm going with those.

I have a new set of Cometic gaskets for sale . PM me

 

but I still need some info on the cometic gasket...

 

BUMP! I really need a quick answer , thanks!


oh btw...
loool omg..nissan needs 18hours to put in a new headgasket wtf?
I'm so pissed right now ,cuz If they put in a "OEM Nissan headgasket" and this happens again ROUND 2 ?

 

I think if your not pushing the boost passed 10psi the Cometic and ARP head studs will hold

 

boosting with 9,5 PSI (TN-reflashed-stock) ..

NOw here's the question:

Will I lose power if I use a thicker headgasket?

 

Thicker HG = lower compression, how much lower depends on how thick it is over stock. So yes, you will lose some power, how much I dunno.

 

The increased thickness of these aftermarket headgaskets is not enough that you will lose any noticeable power loss.

 

thanks alot!

so for which one should I go ? stock (will it be fine or will this happen again? )

or HKS or Cometic?

 

If you have it apart go HKS

 

careful...gurgen just got a set of these, paid top dollar, and looked identical to the cometic...no special ring design of anything!!!

 

Glad I went with Cometic then

 

not true. i have a set of HKS headgaskets right here.

they have the stopper ring just as advertised, he didnt look at them well enough

i was gonna post pics of them tonight, ill do it tomorrow. these headgaskets are where its at! they also have a very nice coating on them.

 

okay went with the HKS gasket !

 

Where did you order your HKS headgasket and how much if you dont mind me asking?

 

I assume there are 2 designs??? Gurgen was telling me how disappointed he was when he got them, saying they were just embossed multilayer, no visible o-ring or their fancy crved metal seal design that is shown on the pics....

do you know if they have 2 versions?

 

they only have one version, and one part #

 

hmm, maybe gurgen started smoking crack again

 

How much hp can the cometic gasket hold?
