Default Right Head Gaskets ?

These came with my gasket set. 1985 GN. Not sure if I should use them. If not anybody got a part number for the right ones?

Those look like N/A gaskets. Hot Air gaskets were steel ... I think RJC Racing sells them.

Look like the ones I got with my 82 turbo kit. In my kit it says they're improved to stop oil leaks. I'm gonna use em, fk it. I don't have 50-100 dollars to spend on headgaskets for something that's going to be mostly stock.

So long as you aren't pushing it hard, it may not matter. (This is an '82...) Of course, if you blow them, you may just end up doing the job twice and buying the right gaskets anyway.

Not sure why you used that block but....I'd want it to be right then. No playing around. Otherwise, you'll just be in the motor again.

Stock 86-87 TR head gaskets a are whole a different animal.

The only reason why I'm using it is because it was free. Just going to be for now until I find another 109 locally or cheap on the net, THEN I'll build a GOOD motor.

These are the correct head gaskets:

Ken's right, RJC sells them, TA Performance sells them too, that's where I got what you see here.
