Re: best head gasket for 91 tsi

No one will ever agree on what head gasket to use.

Cometic = High High Boost applications (28plus PSI, ONLY if block and head are both properly machined)

SCE ICS = High High Boost applications (28plus PSI, can be used on non true surfaces, but not recommended)

OE Mitsu = Any regular old DSM (up to 25psi on anything up to a 50trim)


While I haven't seen much about the SCE ICS headgasket, I know that copper is a FANTASTIC material for a head gasket, and I see it possibly making cometics go obsolete. The fact that it has a built in steel ring that acts a tiny bit like an O-Ring I find sweet. Downside is if the head starts lifting (fucking cylinder pressure!) you can start to ruin things. Same goes with any other gasket though.

Thats my .02
