Head Gaskets?

[PHRiSCo]

A list of the companies I could come up with that sell OEM gasket sets or head gaskets for the 2.0L FS-DE:

- Ajusa Gasket Set
- Cometic Head Gasket (Coming Soon)
- Fel-Pro Head Gasket
- Topline Head Gasket
- OEM Gasket Set

Anyone swear by any of these? I have a built short block coming in from MAM but I'm still using the stock head and turbo so I won't be pushing more than 12-14psi.

A friend of mine who is a Mustang guy swears buy Cometic, but I don't think I can wait until they release their product. I've heard Top Line isn't the greatest and in that case Mazda OEM should be used.

I'm leaning a little towards Ajusa since it's an aftermarket full set.

I just want to make sure I put the engine together right.

As well, my new block is .20 overbore, will that make a difference in gasket size?

Last thing, any recommendations on what else I should replace since I'll have the engine torn apart?

thats wierd i have a comeic gasket sitting my hands for our cars????? I never used it so i just sits in my garage

[apocman]

bitch was exspensive to, I posted a thread a while back with all the proper numbers and the contact name and number at cometic

Sorry on the Cometic site it's not on the catalouge, and another parts ite it says coming soon.

I can pick up an OEM Mazda Gasket Set for $340Cdn, and Timing Belt for $72Cdn.

I'm thinking that's all I should replace during the re and re.

Anyone know of better prices, or a good on-line order site?

[apocman]

wow that sounds expensive $340CDN, If you like you may wan to call Cometic at

1-440-354-0777 ask for Kevyn Kistner and ask him about stock numbers
C5845-074 and H2265074S description is MAZ FS-DE 2.0L

$340Cdn for an entire OEM gasket set, not just the OEM head gasket.

[apocman]

ah, gotcha...

[apocman]

but i thought that you are bored and that would change your piston size therefore requiring a different gasket size????

[apocman]

i could be wrong though...

[apocman]

what is the size of you pistons?

[PHRiSCo]

I'm positive OEM will fit, I haven't heard otherwise.

[apocman]

ah, that rocks then!!!

I would go either OEM or Cometic.
