head gasket

[Ridered416ex]

What is the best head gasket cuz i have a cosmetic one on my 416 wit 11:1 compression and i think blew it out. I checked the head nuts and they are tight unless the studs streched. What do you think? Thanks

If you blew a head gasket, you probably have a head stud pulling out of the cylinder. I would just send it in and get it done so you don't have to worry about it. I had GT Thunder do mine, and they also stock the good laminated steel head gaskets, so you can get it all in one pop. You can look on their website for prices. My total for the studs installed, a new gasket, and the cylinder honed for a new set of rings was $160. For me, that's well worth not having to keep messing with it.
