Hi Guys, I am planning to put a head gasket on my sr, Its a stock block. I went with cosworth because its better than cometic Right? cosworth has 2 sizes
-Cosworth Metal Head gasket Nissan SR20DET 87mm 1.5mm Thick (http://www.frsport.com/Cosworth-20000295-Metal-Head-gasket-Nissan-SR20DET-87mm-1-5mm-Thick_p_8907.html)
-Cosworth Metal Head gasket Nissan SR20DET 87mm 1.8mm Thick (http://www.frsport.com/Cosworth-20000296-Metal-Head-gasket-Nissan-SR20DET-87mm-1-8mm-Thick_p_8908.html)

What should i use for stock block? Should I use the copper seal? thanks

they also have a 1.1 size which I suggest if you haven't had the block resurfaced. Try yoparts.com

Anyone have had experience with cosworth? or cometic?
I know people are running cometic but they are only running 12psi, I want 15 psi daily driver. Keep the comment coming guys!

cometic sucks after swapping my head i had no compression with a brand new cometic gasket so i pulled the head and swapped now im using an apexi 1.1 with no problem. as far as cosworth is concerned i had a bad experience with their main and rod bearings but no experience with their head gaskets
