> also i always wanted to know whats the best way you guys remove the old headgasket, from the ones i’ve changed in my life it tends to stick to the block rather than the head, and when u peal it off, sometimes it comes off clean and sometimes it brakes away and leaves residue on the block, how do you guys go about that ? is there a special technique for perfect removal ?

My motor guy said just scrape it off with a metal drywall tool and then take a sanding block to the head.

I went to JRP and picked up a cometic HG 88.5mm and 0.040 mls w/both add oil holes…which ever that means. Luckily the sr specialist was there to pick out the one for me.
