another HG question D-seires
ok i am painting my crx soon and i have to pull the motor out so i am ordering some arp head studs and a new HG to reach my goal of 275-300hp stock bottom end.. i am wondering if i should spend the $111 bux to get an HKS metal gasket or if i should just stick with an OEM gasket.. for those of you who dont know this is for my DOHC ZC...

MLS with Copper Spray. That'll be the consensus, I feel. ARPs, should clamp whatever you through in there down pretty well.

Re: another HG question D-seires
most head gasket blow outs arent the gaskets fault, its either improper install/build or shitty tuning. OEM metal FTW
find me a thread on that other site that shows a HG blowing for no reason (aside from 50000000000 miles and over heating)
