I am debating on going for a metal gasket since I don't plan on going for high power, maybe 400hp tops, also there is the cost issue with the gasket itself and machining the head and block, etc. I planned on getting an OEM gasket and my shop will machine the head anyway to ensure a good contact. Yea I will replace the head gasket I just don't want the coolant to keep getting into the motor or getting pushed into the overflow tank. I plan on doing it tomorrow in the proper sequence, torque it down to 72ft/lb right?
