Mostly due to ppl slapping them on a stock block and head surface... Cosmetics are great but only with a near perfect surface finish. Stock hg has sealant to help it.

I personally called cometic and ask them what the surface needs to be, they said a 54 RA or finer

and as area seaid, stock head gasket is more than enough

Hmmmmm. I picked up a Cometic head gasket. Would I be better off just getting an OEM one?

i prefer the stock due to the coating it has on it that helps it seal.
