Which gaskets and bolts for heads for boost ??

the SCE TITAN ICS is a copper O-ring head gasket, available in various thicknesses, and also does NOT need to have the head/block machined for the o-ring. I was told by my machine shop that the Cometics are a great gasket, but the mating surfaces must be surgical - perfectly flat and clean, or you are going to have problems. They have run many engines with the Cometics, but loved these SCE's I brought in for mine. Says they look like they'll hold some serious boost.
GM MLS gaskets are cheap and have held up well in high boost also. I run 26psi and I know Harlan has been near or at 30psi with them. I ran the same set all last season.
We run the stock metal exhaust manifold gaskets. No leaks and can be reused many times.

I run l-19 Arps, but cant say they are worth the 4-500 bucks or not....just a profit center for ARP or a saefty net for me...Dunno.
I also use Fel-Pro graphite head gaskets and they have seen 22lbs... I use these because my heads are O-Ringed...but block doesnt have reveiver grooves.
Stock ex mani gaskets here too.
