^ He is a MY02. The jet bolt design was updated in 2002. Only MY00/01 need to upgrade. That lovfab tubular has to give off heat like a mo-fo! Vented hood?
^ not all MY02's have the upgraded squirters. They started sometime during the beginning-middle of the 02 model year but not at the start.
ShmovesS2k I would quit putting off that install. You will pay for it sooner or later, probably sooner.
We have many S2Ks running the streets with the Inline 3mill HG. When people talk about a "budget" and want to go fast, we suggest this way. Its a quick install and you can get good gains without tearing into the motor. We have not had any issues with this headgasket on the S2K and we push around 20-22psi on most vehicles as long as we have injector.
We also used the same, well custom for the B-Series, 3mil HG on a full Dart motor Integra that was originally set up for NOS and wanted to go turbo. This motor will hit 600whp on 93 octane and proper tuning.
So to stay on budget the HG is the way to go, but to do it right build the motor with sleeves and low-comps.
