I agree, they're not all that expensive.... BTW, you did get your head and block machined right? It has to be EXTREMELY smooth for a MHG and even moreso if you're using a HKS Stopper as opposed to their other MHG.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you want to make sure the HG is the appropriate thickness AFTER you have the head and block machined. It's quite possible you'll want or need something thicker.
