mannyvig Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Sorry guys I lost internet connection at my homa and am trying to get it back. So you all know i have received the RB26 andd have already torn it completely down and sent most of it to the machine shop. Once i have more time i will fill you all in on how to force UPS to get your package and do a write up of the progress. I have to say that it is awesome. So the main question: I have the head gasket that came with the master gasket set but am kinda queezy about using it. What is The OEM gasket capable of? What gaskets do any of you gentlemen have experience with and know what they are capable of if you can help you would be known as "awesome" forever. thanks look for a lot of pictures soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Order yourself a metal head gasket from HKS or Gready or tomei. Do it once and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'd recommend finding a Tomei gasket kit. It comes with the HG, intake mani gasket, all TB gaskets, exhaust gasket, and even an oil restrictor for the head! Its usually 350-400 bucks but it also beats paying repeatedly for the paper gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booztd 3 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I got mine from RB Motoring, I am a tomei dealer however my US distributor had run out (sold their last one to RB) so I had to pay a bit more in order to get it by the time I wanted it.

Roostmonkey Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What do you guys think of the Cometic multi layer metal HG's? Do they compare with the HKS GReddy or Tomie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booztd 3 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The cometic is only a 3 layer gasket, FWIW, whereas the tomei is 5 layer. I'm sure people have had good luck with the cometic, however I've never heard anything bad about the tomei..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
