Default Fia headgasket

oright i have a s2, and have just bought a headset from my local ,motorfactor(EK,s) and the Headgasket i got with it is made by Fia, i have just read in a post somewhere that you should only use genuine Ford gaskets or payen, is this true or will i be able to use the one i originally got. Also are the rs turbo head bolts stretch bolts. cheers.

You should use Ford or Payen, that is correct. Nothing else will do and yes the head bolts are stretch.

get the cam and lifters from your motorfactors. Ford ones are longer any better - dont pay more than Ł100.
