Good price and indeed very good gaskets much more robust than standard and will take much more boost, i would have bought them but i'm not to sure what size i will need yet...will know once i finish by rebuild.

You should grind your cylinder heads, according to your specifications.
If you ground it for 1.1 mm head gaskets, then you can install these.

These are "standard" replacements.
It's like having a 500 Watt stereo. You do not use it on peak all the time, but sure better to use 1/5 of its performance, then 100%. Right?

For safety you are better off with well-known aftermarket gaskets (Cometic, Cosworth etc.).

Cheers,
