Ok I am trying to support Frsport but finding a stock headgasket is a pain. I was told that the stock bore size is 87.5mm by Guys at Alamo motorsports. Then the guys at FR said it was 86mm which is what i thought it was. So what size do i order? Who is right ?

im pretty sure stock size is 89mm. and felpro and a lot of other companys make the stock headgaskets to be used with slightly bored out engines.

Depends on what motor you're talking about. SRs have an 86mm bore.

If you're wanting a stock replacement headgasket, just go with Nissan. The stock headgaskets are very well priced.
