My head gasket took a dump on me.

/sarcastic awesome!

What do you think about an apexi gasket and arp studs? No? suggestions? Cometic is nice and cheap, quality?

This blows. Totally bummed.

CHOOCHOO!

Was your old gasket OEM? I'm in the process of installing a similar setup and I'd like to know what to avoid. I am planning on going with a cosworth HG and arp studs.

I'll let you know when I take it off. Not sure. Guy I bought my motor off of didn't know. Actually when we were doing the swap he pointed out a broken metal tab on the front of the motor...like where it would say "Apexi"...we were both curious. Like I said when I get it home and tear it down I'll let you know.

Currently trapped at my girl's house, the Red Dragon anyway.

daaayumm sorry to hear dude!that really sucksbut at least you can rebuild the right way!! lol im lookin forward to seeing that!i decided to go with a full out suspension instead of the turbo upgrade for now, since it'll be a drift car anyway

[veebee]

apex, whatever size you want, you already know what i recommended

arp studs

do work

[Clawhammer]

You won't be disappointed.

talk on aim

my suspension is sweeter than yours except i don't have rucas. or the z32 uprights but those are lame

[burntricer]

tell ya something about the cometic. i have it, with the ARP studs, my gauge sender broke this summer, with my stock rad, and taurus fans...

the fan was never coming on, and the gauge never read more then 1/2 temp... turns out it was overheating weekly. i never popped the head gasket, havent ever lost coolant etc.

the only down fall for cometic is that it probably cant be re-used...although their website says you can.

i don't really remember my reasoning for responding to your thread again, ryan

but i think it was me saying something stupid along the lines of "haha your hg blew because you're too cute" or soemthing similarly stupid

i dunno

but wheeeeeee new years

[LeroyBrown]

[tEknoS13]

Never used a Cometic HG before but a lot people tell me they suck....Go for the Apexi

[Clawhammer]

Update!

Went to my girl's apt. today on our way to work and some piece of **** hit my car pulling out of their parking space. I need to tow it home asap.

Just remembered about this thread so I thought I'd update it.

After the laborious task of changing my head gasket to an Apexi and ARP studs, I stripped the oil feed to my turbo putting everything back together.

I just fixed that, and now some more shenanigans:
