I threw it back together with a high quality Victor Reinz brand head gasket, along with spraying the head gasket with permatex copper spray which would aid in sealing it with any imperfections in the surfaces... So far, it has not used a drop of coolant and the reservoir level doesn’t rise much while driving!
I have used Victor Reinz Stacked gaskets and ARP head studs with great success on a boosted ABA. If it's just a stock motor no boost, I've also used Victor Reinz head bolts and gasket with no issues.
Ive been using Victor reinz sealant forever on the oil pans.
That's a nice Victor Reinz MLS head gasket.
Just get the cheapest one that ECS carries. I believe it's Victor Reinz or something like that. I've never had a problem with them and it's a super easy replacement.
Don't use a Victor Reinz gasket.....
