Head Gasket???
My head gasket has just blown and i was wondering if i should replace it with a genuine ford one or an upratted one. I have heard of ppl having had problems with upratted ones damaging the head. I only had mine done less than 10k ago using a genuine ford item and since i upped the boost it has blown so i guess it cant cope. What do you reccomend?

Genuine Ford mate. It's widely regarded to be the best. If your HG failed it failed for a reason other than raised boost, I would hazzard a guess incorrect set up.

Will stick to the Ford head gasket even if the Payen one is the same. Genuine Ford parts speak for them selves. I dont wanna be havin to explain that a Payen one is the same as the Ford and someone thinking im bullshitting them when they are looking through the service history come sale day.
Thanks all for the advise though.
