best head gaskets....

I would have figured that a search would have turned this up right away but after 2 hours of reading through old threads I'm just tired of spitting in the wind.

I am almost 100% positive I blew another head gasket... getting rather tired of it and wanna know the name of and where to get these "Best head gaskets". I've had a partial throttle stumble for some time now and the car leaves a nice plume of white smoke behind it when I get on it real hard. And I've been trying to track it down.... well finally my "Low Coolant" light came on, it immediately hit me what that was a sign of, and it hasn't even been running hot. Car even went 12.24@118.2 like that

I was told last night the name of "the best" but can't seem to remember. My friend did state that it wasn't a copper gasket, and that the block doesn't need to be O-ringed for them. I think the name started with a K or something like that I dunno Any help here is appreciated.

Cometics are expensive. Felpro 1074's would be my choice, hell if people are running 900rw through these gaskets I know there good enough for you too.

I'm with you on that all up to the point where I am pulling this motor apart with only 1300 miles on it to do some stupid **** like this. I put the best parts into my engine except for two places... I went with the regular fel-pro gaskets... and Total seal piston rings. I now, after 1300 miles have a motor that consumes 1 quart of mobile 1 motor oil about ever 200 miles, and needs new head gaskets I'm not ****ing around anymore.... I really don't car what it cost I just want it to perform like I know it can, and be some what reliable.

Not what I am trying to say. I'm simply stating that I think there are "Better" head gaskets than MR. Gaskets on my car now. First one I blew was a factory GM one, now I blew a Fel-pro.... It could just be my torque skills, or lack there of... but I'd really not looking for a deal I am looking for some high quality, high performance stuff. Sorry if I offended you by saying that.
