Default Comparing head gaskets.

Mr.Gaskets #5716 vs. Victor Reinz #5898

Any difference between the two? Their both .026" compressed.

Which of the two can handle high compression and/or Nitrous?

What gaskets are you guys using?

Im using the 5716. The Reinz is a lil cheaper though. I couldnt tell you what makes them different. How much compression are you/ do you think you will make? How much juice? Head studs will solve those problems to a point.

There is no differnence between these 2 at all...

If you buy the Mr. Gaskets and you will never see a 5716 part number on them, but you will see part number as 5898, because Mr. Gasket only repackages the Victor Reinz gaskets under their brand...

Go for the one you can find cheaper...

Are the Mr. Gasket one's good for about 100 shot of spray? I might but a baby shot on this year and i have the .026 Mr. G's and wasn't sure if it was a strong enough gasket for the gas?

The Victor Reinz is cheaper than the Mr. Gasket repackaged Reinz. Also I have heard some people having issues with the packaging sticking to the gasket with the Mr. Gasket package.

I'm personally run the Reinz 5898's with my car and has my compression around 11.3-1. I PM'd you the link to where to get them the cheapest that I was able to find.
