suggestions

Replacing head gaskets are not a biggie to do and only require that you make sure your mating surfaces of your heads and block are clean and burr free, and that your piston bore diameter in the gasket itself is slightly larger than the bore diameter of your block. I STRONGLY suggest if youd like the best head gasket that you can buy, that you buy COMETIC head gaskets. These head gaskets are pricey but, youll only ever have to buy one set, because they are reusable. Check them out.
