GTI-R Cylinder Head Gasket
Hi Guys,

I did a few searches with no results. I tried looking up GTI-R without the hyphen, head gasket as one word; I'm just looking for a good quality head gasket made to fit the GTI-R block. Mazworx offers a machine option for the Apexi one, but I am not sure if it's really going to work. I'm just looking for opinions or if using this one is a good idea.
The block has been machined to accept 86.5mm pistons.

Apexi SR20DET Metal Headgasket - Cylinder Head - Mazworx

I am wanting to retain the factory thickness or slightly smaller.
Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks in advance.

Greg V just got in some SR20VET metal headgaskets.

Buy that and move on to your next objective, sir.

54C builds, for the win.

The VET gasket is compatible with the larger GTI-R head bolt holes?

Thanks guys!
