Mitsubishi Pajero 1993: Tips on getting a better gasket

Asked by Mick

I BLEW a head gasket on my 1993 V6 Mitsubishi Pajero. Any tips on getting a better gasket so I won't have this problem again, and what else should I look for while I have the heads off?

USE a quality head gasket, like a factory spare, and you should have no trouble. When you've got the heads off, inspect for cracks and warping. Consider having the heads faced to make sure they're flat when they go back on, and certainly grind the valves.
