Bump For

my headgasket just blew (or head is cracked)
and I dont know wheter I should just slap on a stock headgasket, or Just ARPS, or just a metal headgasket.

Thanks!

ARPs and MLS. Torque ARPs to 90ftlbs after heat cycle.

You could try ARPs torqued to 90 on a stock HG but as you are buying a new gasket anyway the MLS is now ~$50 cheaper.
