Talking sr20det

Hey wuz up, im a newbie .how are yall doing. I have a 91 240sx and spun a main bearing on first sr.People in dallas called boost factor screewed me bad.So year later im finally getting a new sr together.Much better now,have t3/t4 hybrid and only gonna run around 16-18 psi(dont want to blow motor so soon). I have heard its a good idea to get rocker arm stoppers,should I spend the extra money,be safe.Also,should I get a better head gasket. Thanks

a copper head gasket will be good for u. Just make sure u dont boost anymore then 18, then u should need rocker arm stoppers.

Who makes a good metal head gasket, for a resonable price of course?

HKS makes really good metal head gaskets, but i don't know how much. if you are going to pull the head for the gasket you should do arp head studs as well. you can usually get an entire set for just over $100. It's a great idea to help hold your motor together on that kind of boost.

Yeah.. i have the head bolts, but i was also wondering if a stock head gasket will hold up to the stresses of about 350-375 hp.
