Get a metal headgasket, or you will be doing it again.. Be sure to use a reputable machine shop also. ARP bolts....too!

Exactly! Some people do prefer to use the ARP head studs as they can provide a higher clamping force. (You can torque them down tighter) Just don't reuse your factory head bolts or buy new ones from the dealer. Use ARP and you'll be OK! :icon_bigg

HKS the way to go, if you can fork out the cash. Someone is selling and HKS headgasket still in the baggy what ever you call it, for like $125.
