I would change a few things. Get your gaskets from Mitsu, don't use Clevites (get ACL's or King's from QPR), also get a turned down balance shaft from me or QPR.

Mike is going to say " King bearings and mitsubishi gaskets".

Why do you think you need a metal HG by the way?

What's wrong with Clevite bearings?

I probably don't, but I got it as a Christmas present last year and haven't had a chance to put it on.

Metal gasket, sell it.
Clevite bearings, no. Kings are a better bearing, so are acl's, the clevites were junk last year, and because of that, I won't even touch one.
Oh, and buy some damm mitsu gaskets ;).

The Clevite bearings are much poorer quality than the ACL or King's. Plan on deburring all of the bearings if you use Clevites. The holes and edges have burrs on them. I put ACL's in this time and they looked really nice. They are all very close to the same price too.

You forgot a front cover including new oil pump gears and a timing belt kit with new tensioner. The whole gasket set from Mitsu is $190 and includes turbo gaskets and even the nice 7cm one. And if you've already got the Clevites, they're fine if you debur them, otherwise get the ones others have suggested. The metal hg is nice, but if you're only running 25psi or less, the stock Mitsu that comes in the kit is more than adequate. Everything else looks good.

If you use a metal head gasket, you no longer have a fuse for the engine. Usually, if soemthing goes wrong, or it gets too hot, the gasket will go. I got news for ya, the metal one isnt going anywhere :)

No news, I've heard this discussed 10 times already on this forum.
