Well I found this head gasket and I cant seem to find many reviews on it. Its like half the cost of any of the jdm brands. I wanted to see if anyone has had any experiences with this brand. I know that the company its self is really good. But I wanted to see if anyone is using it and if its worth getting.

they are an excellent piece and I would recommend using one they're cheaper than HKS ones and I like the way they're made better.

You need to research my friend. It's been covered multiple times, here and Zilvia. They even have an article about them and using pressure paper around the head to show/compare others to it. Reading, it's your best friend.

As for your answer, yes they are a good headgasket. It's Cosworth man, the name alone speaks for itself.

I have a huge thread on this on NICO. I contacted Eric Hsu about the gasket, and he works for Cosworth, which he promptly supplied me with fuji film tests and other sorts to show how strong the gasket is.

Plus it's Cosworth. It's only one of the winningest companies in race history.
