Okay guys, Heres my question.

I am looking at buying these HGs http://www.amazon.com/GENUINE-SUBARU-HE ... uctDetails (http://www.amazon.com/GENUINE-SUBARU-HEAD-GASKET-11044AA633/dp/B00BFF4ATG#productDetails)

What I want to know is if these are single layer steel or mls? I was told that the compressed ej251 gasket is .12 and the STi one is .21. could someone give me the compression figures for both of these gaskets with my block head combination. :smt017 EJ25D heads with EJ251 block. If I go all the way I want the thinner gasket. but I am on the fence right now.

I have a set of 251 HG from a Subaru engine kit I didn't use, it's a single layer steel not MLS, and ending up use 6 star HG MLS. If you want it, $30 shipped.

I used 6 stars last time. They ended up blowing on me. I wasn't very happy... Those gaskets are like 200 bucks too.
Yeah, I'd be interested. PM me
