Duy had a stock headgasket in his 600+hp KA, didn't he?
And since when do Greddy & HKS make KA headgaskets?

those gaskets are for sr i m pretty sure.. i was in auto zone a nad a perma-dry gasket is suposedly better than the stock oem ones, i would hope so because the peram was like 95$ and the oem are like 40$

[s13silady]

can you explain to me how the perma dry ones work??
what i was gonna do it use a stock gasket, and use gasket sealant on top of that... and im only running 5 psi.. so i dont think i need a hardcore gasket right now...and if duy could run 600 on stock gasket then i could do it but not as much hp.

i ll be in there tomorrow and i ll ask them then, but dont use gasket sealent if you arent suposed to, it could plug up coolant holes or oil passeges and cause uneven seals, head gasker should stay flat, and the sealer would be weaker than the metal rings..but thats just my opion
