Going to replace a head gasket..
Head gaskets need no sealants correct?
Bosch vs Fel pro, your take?
Head gaskets from bosch seem nice, there is an enforced sheet of aluminum in there between the gasket material

Thanks alot

Havent heard much on Bosch gaskets. Felpro sucks. I wouldnt use anything but OEM on mine. That goes for any car in my opinion.

No sealant. Just make sure to check for flatness and follow all specs.

Felpro is good stuff if you have a V8, I would be surprised if they weren't decent for Hyundais . . . but nobody makes as good a __________ (fill in the blank with the name of 95% of the whole car) for an RD as Hyundai.

OEM on all gaskets, 'specially head gasket.
