Alright, You have the HKS beaded MHG. It's a good gasket. Should work well for you. There's this thing in this forum where everyone debates the mhg's.

I think because most people don't deck the block and only plain the head, is the basis of the argument, because in theory with out doing the block and the head, the surface isn't flat enough for an MHG.

I lapped my block, I did it in the car even. Some would say that is wrong.
But to the point. I had the head done completely. I used an HKS 2.mm stopper mhg. So atleast I'll never be accused of cutting corners or skimping on parts.

I almost went beaded and wanted to spend more money than I needed too.

I'm not done with my build just yet thanks to some of my vendors not working over the holiday. I'm down to a few pipes and som vac lines. Oil change then fire.

EDIT: I used arp studs. Be e a utifull.
