[Supras] Felprol head gasket

[Craig Thommes]

Regardless, Felpro or Toyota... that's the big piece that comes out of the
head gasket kit and goes straight in the trash.

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.
