Welding the block too your head will stop giving you leak headgaskets, would sound logical because you wouldn't have one.
I'd go for a standard headgasket if you don't have further plans.
Watch that you buy the right one:
1) YB0611 (first generation standard headgasket)
2) Group A
3) YB1261 (last generation standard headgasket)
Watch that you buy the YB1263 (number 3), since this one is cheaper AND better then the group A one, it's used from escort cosworth.
Good luck..

Chasing Radders
Mountune 4 layer WRC gasket for me EVERYTIME
Yes it may be overkill on what you want but i would not touch a comitec one for shit
Then again, i would say that as the comitec gasket did damage my head and block and they have admitted it was a faulty gasket

Hi.
I didn't receive an e-mail about what part you needed the finiscode for,
if you still want it, let me know with a reply, so I can try to find it, since I'm at work now.
