Re: Strange head gasket

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Tis gasket is for 2.0l only. I have used it many times on 2.0l's and have 
had great success. I sell this gasket for 30$ and I would have to sya that 
it is well worth the $$. Abuddy of mine was using one on his Callaway Rabbit 
and melted #4 piston so bad you could see the top and second compression 
ring with the piston installe din the cylinder bore. Needless to say; the 
gasket didnt blow and was in good condition.
