EJ25 HG Questions... Experts needed!
Hey guys... Looking for your opinions on Phase I EJ25 head gaskets and procedures.
What brand HG is the best for a good seal on a NA ej25 block (DOHC)? OEM (redesigned, obviously), or aftermarket... I've heard decent things about Felpro and Cometic, but not used either. Did you retorque your head bolts after running the engine for a bit? I don't have FSMs and don't trust my Haynes all that much. What kind of head bolts should I use? OEM/aftermarket? Of course I want to make sure the mating surfaces are clean and perfectly flat, and all old sealing materials are gone, and there are no nicks, etc. What else do I need to do to ensure a good seal? Don't tell me to get a phase II block!!! Thanks! Aaron |
