Head Gaskets

Post by Matt » Mon Jul 09, 2007 5:46 pm

Should you run special head gaskets with Dual port heads? I.e can you use standard head gaskets?

Thanks

By dual port heads do you mean ea81 with the divider in the exhaust outlet?

The head construction is the same as the heads without the divider, normal headgaskets should be fine (unless its an ea81t)

Make sure you use a repupitable brand
