I see that by the part number on some posts I see that you can use it and it has an extra hole. Guess it's going up for sale

So what your saying is, with all the internet at my disposal, I still can't confirm or deny, if i can use an s14 SR head gasket on a s13 SR. So i'll ask on a forum and just take the first answer I get? Even if it goes against what I've read, but failed to comprehend?
Well here's the wrench to your thinking. Yes you can use it!

That's the problem I can't 100% confirm I have not seen a picture of it done. So this is ok ? 73311

Yes that's ok, but it's still a cometic HG. So did you at least have the block and head prepped for a mls head gasket?

I just wanted to know if that gasket would work. Thanks for the info.

The only other issue is bore size, most people prefer a hg bore to be 1mm larger than the cylinder bore. So you could also run the 87mm bore and be good as well.

Thanks for the info. It is 86. It's more of a precaution upgrade then a necessity.
