Default Headgasket

I know people say get oem HR headgasket for the DE, but I'm boring it out .020 over, and I think you cant use a 95.55MM head gasket with a 96 MM bore but I could be wrong. Sorry for the newb question!

HKS and Cosworth have proven themselves for years on the forums. Pick your preference.

Yup, an OEM HR head gasket will be fine; I just put 10k miles on my built motor.

i would not use a HG smaller diameter than your bore, when the properly sized gaskets are available. I have a 96.5 bore and run the HKS 97mm gasket
