I thought this was a pretty interesting read as far as cometic bashing... lol

You ran stock head bolts on your old sr'd s13? wowser!
Iirc power enterprise made a limited amount of ka head gaskets for a group buy a while back. I haven't really heard whether or not they yielded similar results as the mazworx torture test.
I wish either apexi or cosworth would start manufacturing an alternative mls head gasket for ka's... ugh
That thread is hilarious. This is why I never look for info on the internet, and why everyone's car breaks all the time. It's all wrong! OK, they got the Cometic = crap part right. The original question was whether he can use a gasket with a 90mm ID on a stock motor. The answer of course is YES. The stock gasket from Nissan is 90mm on the stock 89mm bore motor. Good think 100 people just chimed in to reverse facts. Jeez. Caliper + stock gasket = answer. If you told those guys that they'd probably ask how the hell they're supposed to measure a gasket with brake parts!
-edit- yes I used stock head bolts. Several times. They'll be on my next motor, too. They're also on my brother's motor, which has been beating around for 3 years now like that.
