yup your right. i wouldn't go with cometic. i haven't heard of any problems with the inline pro hg unless it was installer error.

i might be going on to my 3rd 3mm headgasket. I've gotten about 20k miles out of each one. The first one was installed by billman so i know it wasnt installed wrong and the 2nd has lasted longer than the first. I push the car alot but watch my gauges like a hawk for overheating.

Cometic makes IP's 3mm headgasket, but supposedly its made to a different spec than the one Cometic makes.
