ive had a few PM's lately asking about metal head gaskets (mhg) for the 7MGTE 7MGE 7M-GTE 7M-GE (yes im including all this shit so people can find this thread with the search engine)
anyway, below is a (BIG) pic (no photoshop - again!) of a HKS gasket demonstrating its laminated construction. you DO NOT use o-rings with these kinds of gaskets.
However , copper head gaskets (another kind of mhg) require orings withou question - copper is soft and maleable, and requires the extra clamping pressure around the combustion chambers provided by the orings in order not to blow

Doh !!! That is why my headgasket probably doen't work !!!! It doesn't look like a PISTON !!!!
