2 OE headgaskets with ARPs?

[220bhp]

John I used two Victor Rienze metal head gaskets. drill the brass rivets that hold them together And use both the middle sections, and the top and bottom outer layers from one of the gaskets.
I used stretch bolts. Its held for two years now. ARP bolts would only make it better.
Doug at MRC told me how to do it

You can buy a thicker laser cut middle section if you don't want to use two Reinz pieces. What's the benefit of splitting the gaskets over just sticking one whole gasket on top of another. I'm planning on doing the same thing to reduce my CR.

Don't 034 do them?

Probably and I bet expensive. Sourcing from Germany would be far better for EU folk. The e-Bay items are cheap if you only want the centre section and plan to use your own outer sealing layers from an Reinz or similar gasket.
