the job of the head gasket is to seal against combustion pressure, temperature and allow the head to thermally expand at a different rate than the iron block, which is why you hear clicking noises from the head contracting after you turn it off, so as long as the gasket is designed with that in mind, it should work, but the OEM is a sure bet that it is made to work right on that particular engine

Tripoint uses OEM gaskets on their proteges and from what I have read the OEM gasket is supposed to be good to 30psi (I'll never be anywhere near that).
Juan has run 22+psi on the OEM gasket without problems.

if the head gasket was like bullet proof, wouldn't that just mean you'd crack your block or warp your head first? i'd rather change a head gasket than find a new block

Yet another reason to go back to the stock gasket.Mashi Maro said:
I'll only be running 12-14psi daily anything higher will require high octane fuel and that's just not going to happen very often.
