no, no, no not at all, forgive me if that was the impression I gave, I'm probably guilty of not reading the thred closely. It's just that so many people do just the head and neglect the block (or blow it with a bad tune) and wonder why their gasket fails right away
haha... yeah, you have NO idea how much money i have into this build right now, not as much as others, but a lot more than most.
go check out my build thread, i need to go update it anyways...

This is probably too late for you, but I'd buy HKS over Cometic. I blew up a stock bottom end with an HKS gasket in there, the gasket was still fine.
On the other hand, I've blown a Cometic gasket before damaging the bottom end.
Leads me to think that HKS > Stock bottom end > Cometic.

havent bought anything yet... still debating. grim your the reason i wanna go HKS over the cometic... i care more about real life experiecne than what other cars use a head gasket..
each car and gasket are different. a honda head gasket is nothing like a supra gasket... im debating in my head right now if i go 2mm cometic, 2mm hks or 3mm hks...

I've overheated and blown hoses off 3 times, cracked spark plug porcelain twice but no BHG with Cometic. Y'know theres always different circumstances. I also havent heard of any of the other cars I know running Cometics blowing them. Then again I havent heard of anyone blowing an HKS gasket either. I used to have a stopper type on my old engine that threw a rod but that engine was never beat on like my current one, lol
IJ i think you have blown just about everything... haha
how did you blow each one? im kinda curioius... was it during the intake manifold mishap?
