[QUOTE="The Captain, post: 330, member: 7"] Just an fyi for you peeps. I recently put a new JE in my 450 and used cometic gaskets initially. First problem I encountered. The head gasket is a 3 piece held together with 2 rivets, the rear rivet did not clear the head and jug, had to be removed. Got everything together, properly, and the damn thing leaked which in turn pressurized the cooling system, forcing large amounts of coolant out the cap and overflow. Took everything back apart, replace with oem which I had overnighted, cured the problem. After a bit of research I discovered there are quite a few people that have had trouble with this brand. To sum it all up, use OEM!! [/QUOTE]
