Alex, if you haven't already bought one, use a Felpro permatorque headgasket with the L19's. Pricey but worth every penny , however the head studs are definitely more important than the choice of headgasket.
Already got these boys...
so no going back for me. Block and the head should be ready this Friday
Nice! Let us know how it works out.

My recipe was OEM Mitsu composite HG with early head bolts, not studs over torqued to about 110 to120 ft-lbs.
With good surfaces my car never pushed coolant even at 40 psi. Boost with detonation will leak regardless of what configuration used. You need a solid tune if you are running big boy boost.

Ok, now I'm not sure if I should go with the felpro or the oem composite. I'll be running the magnus studs and wasn't planning on sending either the block or head out for resurfacing, as they were just done recently.
