Re: What's the advantage of using the 2.7tt Head Gasket?
All metal, unlike the cheap paper HG that comes stock. Also, I "think" that it is slightly thinner than the stock HG, bumping up compression maybe .1.

Re: sweet. Stock crank and rods? Nice to know the 2.7TT works. Stasis made their own gaskets.
The gasket fit fine, there were just a few unused passages on the new gasket. The rods (with ARP bolts) and crank are essentially stock, they hopefully will hold up fine. I plan on keeping the redline under 7000rpm so that should help. I guess I will just have to find out.
