How much metal was removed from the head???
3/4 thousandths or 8/9.

Has the head ever been shaved before?
The thickness of the head comes into play here as well to determine what thickness of gap the MHG is compensating for.

HKS makes a beaded head gasket.

It was my personal first choice.

Until I found the stopper.

The stopper and arp hardware and alot of owner involved tlc.
It's as close to bullet proof as you can get.

And I own a N/A. And I'm modded out. About to get a set o gte cams for it.

The stopper is the shit. And the beaded used to be.

So you almost can't lose, going beaded either.

Spend the extra 150$. The going rate on the stopper 2.mm was 325 to 350 bucks.

My machinist removed 9 thousandths of material to compensate for the warpage that had occured.

Im not sure they havent done it yet so I will know when they do i guess lol I got my bill paid down to 960 from 1250 so they are starting to grind the crank and do the block.

You say your modded out how much HP and Torque are you pushing?

I haven't dyno'd anything and probably won't.
