I found a site that had cometic gasket and when i was reading their little article I saw that they recamend going .5mm over your bore size even on stock bore sizes. Is that really suppose to be safer? heres the link. It says this stuff at the bottom. http://www.raceeng.com/techsheets/cometic.pdf

The HG is always bored out a little higher than the cylinder... even new. Going too big isn't good though either. Has you block been bored? If not 84mm is what you want.

i payed 240$ for a 1.3mm mls cometic recently.
add up the shipping to the cost it may be worth it to just get it from a local auto parts store.

Supra store has the titan 1.4mm MHG for $119. If what cre says is true it should be the same as a cometic.

Has anyone dealt with Suprastore in the past five years? I'd like to see some actual feedback to know if they've cleaned up their act or not.

Cometic and Titan are visually the same. I've spoken to two store owners who would neither confirm or deny that the two are the same but both agreed that "yes they seem the same". I think the Titan are shipped in bulk packaging where the Cometic have a branded package. The Cometic are available in more sizes, IIRC.

yes i realize the 1.4mm is cheaper, but as Cre stated above, I should look for a 1.8mm.
