    I've used them both... never bothered me. If the thickness is different I dunno, I never measured them.

    Paeco sells copper gaskets.

    mike you might want to check that paeco actually sells gaskets, i called them a while back to ask about the crank pulleys, and they told me to go fuck off (ie dont make them anymore and never will)

    cometic gaskets are only 65 a pop.

    and to my knowledge all a20a head gaskets should be same... blocks sure look same to me

    watch what you get. i have had the best with honda ($65) and felpro ($35-45). If you the the graphite head gasket that "SEALS BETTER THAN OEM" you will be very sorry. I put one on my car and it blew out within 6k miles of replacing it. Since then did a rebuild and used a felpro and haven't had any problems. I've put about 10k on it.
