Me personally I'd use a mountune MLS gasket but the block and head surface needs to be perfect.

Only if the block and head have been faced. I would not bother if its not perfect.

True, but if you gonna change the heat gasket, better do it good the first time. So like you said, make it perfect first.

Not knowing the power to be run, you may not need long studs OR metal head gasket ??

I put a small turbo escos on my 2wd and just used std head bolts.

I think it was a bit cheaper than a 4x4 gasket too?

Isn't a 4x4 gasket also known as a group a?
