Default Head gasket recommendation please
What would be recommended for a 2.5 STI engine, Cosworth, Cometic, STI gaskets, or something else? And any recommendation on where to source them?

It seems there are different thickness gaskets available, 0.78mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, if it's a standard engine what should I be buying?

Thanks

Cosworth or cometic are both perfect for the job & I would go 1.1mm to allow for any machine work on the heads.

I'm on Cometic at the moment and haven't had any issues, however when the heads are pulled early next year I'll be fitting Cosworth!
