Head gasket
what is the best sort of head gasket to use after failure? i know you can get the OE one's but i've seen multi layer metal ones as well, are these any better?

Early cars use a composite gasket, but you can use the multi layer gasket fro the STi 3/4. These are very good, and more than up to anything you're likely to throw at it.

I had multi-layer steel gaskets fitted on advice of the specialist who did the work. Also fitted APS non stretch stud bolts just to be sure

do you need to change the head studs as well then after you remove the head? are the standard studs of the stretch variety? where is the best place to get steel gaskets from
