Who sells a Heavy-Duty 4AGE Head Gasket?

I am trying to find a Good Place to buy a Quality, Durable Head Gasket for My GTE project and was wondering if anyone knows of a good place?

Thanks

And Cometic HG via Paradise Racing. Multilayer metal, various thicknesses available. Their test car did 500hp with that HP gasket. It's $60.00 shipped via club4ag.comn

The standard toyota gasket is good, I've seen it do 180~220wkw with no issues. But if the Cometic HG is only $60 then go for it.

actually if anything I would say a racing head gasket isn't heavy duty... it's alot tinner than the stock one. If the car is suposed to see winter temp I would stick with the stock head gasket. I was asking a mechanic about it. He has a 350 v8 racing motor at his house

It would only be thinner if you bought a thin one, you can buy all different thickness gaskets.

Yes some are thinner than standard but you can also buy thicker than standard "racing" gaskets to lower the compression, if you want.

Actually, the only place I said racing was "Paradise Racing"... that's the shop name. Like I said, you can get various thicknesses, I have a .8mm on mine, but they keep a ready supply of 1m (stock thickness) and can custom make thicker or thinner to your request. Still $60 shipped!
