Default 3mm STOCK bore head gasket
Looking to buy a 3mm gasket. I know inline has one for 330$. Is there any other options? I know cometic has one out but i can only find a 89mm bore. Does anyone offer a stock 87mm bore 3mm head gasket?

Correct it does work, no question. That's never been the problem. The problem has always been longevity. They are ticking time bombs.

It is a band aid for a gun shot wound. Tune the car properly and there's no need for a 3mm head gasket. The quench area you loose it's not worth it.

Why stop at 3mm? Why not do 5mm?

Yup! Less than 5000 miles seems to be the lifespan of a 3mm headgasket. Not worth the time or money.
