Anyone know where I can get a new head gaskit from? Not looking to spend $400 for an HKS one. Also Should I go with head studs or head bolts?

:dunno:

Hopefully he's talking about a "Non-7M" engine. Otherwise, he's posted in the wrong section.

:D I think the Stock headgasket is a pretty decent one. I don't know what level you should upgrade from the stock one (It's metal). I'm sure the stock one should be good to 500 HP though. I could be wrong.

It is, but I've just lost compression in cylinder # 5 and will be taking off the head soon. Do you know where I can get a new head gasket?
