Default Anyone running RCM head gaskets?

Hi All,

Getting the final parts for my 2.1 build together, what are the benefits of the RCM head gasket over the OEM MLS gasket?

WMS have also told me to run a 0.6mm gasket and the thinest RCM 2.0 gasket I can find is 0.78mm.

Cheers,

RCM head gaskets are MLS with excellent sealing properties - you need to ask WMS if the thickness he has calculated is a compressed thickness as the RCM one is only 0.007" thicker and will prob compress down to the target 0.6mm when fitted.

WMS have said they're great gaskets and the thickness won't really affect anything so i've gone with them
