Default Best head gasket?
As title says, my head gasket has recently blown, just wondering what head gaskets are being used to cope with 260bhp cvh? Cheers

Athena have multilayer versions which will lower the cr being 1.9mm thick.

This hg and a set of arp stud amd nuts will hold lots of boost together.

For 260bhp as said Ford/Payen with stock stretch bolts and CR will be fine.
