Welcome to the Forums! To post a new thread, first select the appropriate discussion area. In this case, we're in the "MKIII Supra" discussion, so only post threads in there about MKIII Supra's. Once you're in the right discussion group, at the top left of the thread list is a button entitled "New Thread". Click that, add a subject, and post your thread! Good luck

From what I can gather, if you plan on doing any decent power modifications with your car, mhg is the way to go. If you're staying mostly stock, then you should be ok with a stock Composite head gasket, as long as you get one of good quality. That means you can rule out places like eBay where you can get a whole engine gasket set for $50. I would say go OEM or with a namebrand aftermarket gasket manufacturer, such as FelPro.

Keep in mind that whichever gasket you decide on, it's strongly recommended that you install it with either ARP Head Bolts or ARP Head Studs; both allow you to torque the gasket much higher than the rated 58 ft/lbs, allowing you to greatly extend the life of your gasket.
