mls head gasket sohc

[12valveturbo]

I have had nothing but bad luck with my car. I have a ka24et in a 90 hatch and I cant keep a gasket on this thing. I know people say the stock one will hold a lot of boost but I am not getting more than a couple hundred miles between blowing the gasket. I have blown them at 3 psi 5 psi 10psi 15psi .Just the other day I made 7 pulls on the dyno with no problems.Then I left and got on it once pulled real hard and then blew the gasket. I have arp studs and have tried fel pro,topline,and nissan gaskets with no luck.Every time with new head and gasket (block checked for flatness). W.T.F. Someone please help. I have a blown motor someone gave me and I pulled it apart and found a steal laminated gasket it says stone os on it and I really want one but cant find one. Any help would be great. THANKS

why dont you get the cosmetic head gasket..about 100$ should handle any boost

[12valveturbo]

I would if they made one

Does anyone else with a single cam turbo setup have this problem with blowing gaskets?

Do you guys foresee any problem running the cometic for the de other than front cover part being different

and will it lower compression any on an otherwise stock motor? i`m exactly where 12vT is, except no turbo, mine`s having heat issues and i`ve ordered a cometic in hopes of it not being able to "blow" anymore.
