What are decent gaskets that you can use? I am not a fan of Permaseal as I had massive issues with them years ago, but I have heard mixed reactions about ACL too. I am debating getting a generic cheap brand for the standard gaskets and getting a good quality Nismo head gasket.

Thoughts and reccomendations. I also have a GX head that is going to be a problem to get a inlet gasket for I think.

Ask baz at datsport what he uses. Work fine in my motor... Had an oil leak but that's from weld not gasket in sump- sealed now.

Head gasket blew but that was the head. Gasket you gave me stll surviving.

i've got nismo head heads & manifold gaskets in stock if your interested.

the nismo also gives you more comp,they are thinner then all the others.

its the only one i'd use

I'll give you a ring tomorrow or at least very soon.

There is nothing wrong with the ACL gaskets, just make sure you don't use any hylomar on them as much as you may be tempted to - as they already have embedded sealant for the waterways in them. Just make sure you clean up the deck surface really thoroughly of the old gasket and dirt with a paintscraper or similiar and then give good elbow grease wipe with clean rag and thinners or acetone. although they don't recommend this, I retorque all my headgaskets at 500kms and then 3-5000kms. seems to be the trick. Apparently there was a japanese gasket brand called KP that was really the bomb before ACL came good but I don't think they are around any more.

Hey bige,
How much for nismo head and manifold gaskets?
Cheers
