Reviving old thread: I'm confused (surprise) as to what needs to be done to use another stock Toyota head gasket: From my understanding, it doesn't matter which HG I chose I'm going to have to machine the block for proper fitment, Is this correct? Or can i just get another stock head gasket and ARP head bolts torque them properly and be happy? Also, does the OEM head gaskets come in different sizes like the MHG?

I know everybody recommends the MHG, but I'm not planning on making much more than 300 horses.
