[Supras] Felpro head gasket

[Bob]

Fel Pro is one of the few gasket companies that will re engineer the gasket
to make up for factory design flaws.  

I have no idea if they have done anything to the Toyota Gasket but most
likely it is better than the original.

I have talked to the tech line several times on head gasket issues and
although I haven't mentioned the 7m yet, every other time they have a
solution for the common failures.  If you think that the 7m has a head
gasket problem just look into GM's 3.4 or most Civics from the late 80's
through 1996. Fel Pro has am updated gasket set for these models.

Will the Fel Pro gasket hold up to the 45 psi of boost we all want to
run.... probably not.  On the other hand it should be just fine for stock
applications.

The Felpro IS a stock gasket.  If you look on a gasket set, the country of 
origin of each gasket is listed.  The HG is made in Japan while every other 
gasket is made in the US.
