Best Head Gasket For 22R

[69 1/2 Six Pack]

I am only going to change this leaky-ass head one more time! What is the best (manufacturer) head gasket to use?
Thanx!

Most swear by the factory Toyota headgasket whenever they have an opinion. I have a Fel-Pro on mine. No probs so far.

...heard some of the other guys mention a good one from LC Engineering...

is your head warped? (the truck's, that is)

I know mine is but the truck head was resurfaced and the block was also decked with the correct finishes and the head began to share gasses between cyls 2 & 3 after about 3K mi. The head was seeping coolant from the front corner until enough caltrates got into the breech and sealed it up. I rebuilt the engine and used the Chinese gasket set that the local parts house supplied. I have anothe donor head from an '85 22RE that I am going to rework and put on. This time with a Toy factory gasket and see what happens.

ive used fel pro on my other trux and no problems.. its a good idea to use new head bolts and retorque them after 500 miles or so.
