yes im serious...the head gasket is like a fuse, you rather it go instead of the engine...now certain applications (big horse power) you may need better head gaskets...good luck

I have never thought of it like that thanks. Im running alotta boost so I gotta go one step better then stock

just o ring the heads and run loc wires.

Use head studs.

if it's on a stock block, running less than 14 pounds of boost...

I'd use Fel Pro 8548pt-2 or 9333pt1

and use a good ARP head bolt.....

as stated, pop the gasket and not the motor....

Go the cheap route and run some graphite fel pros with head studs.
