Can I use the cometic head gasket from a 97 240sx? If I went .20 over should I use the 90mm gasket? What will I have to do to make it work?

Unless your going for more than 500 hp, you dont need(or want) a cometic. Infact, they are a huge PITA and you will more than likely have problems with it from day one.

Go for a fel-pro, you will never have any problems out of it.

I was going to use a Cometic until I came here. I'm not going over 500hp for a while so I'm going with the fel-pro.

Na 500 on a FWD is pointless. I just want to make sure I do not blow a head gasket and lose all the money I put in the block and head.
