    Hello,
    My question is, will the OEM head gasket handle a higher compression ratio on a TT? or would it be better to go for something like cometic, ect although im under the impression that its rather hard to get them to seal.
    Also would a Series 2 lower plenum fit on a series one head and upper plenum?

    Thanks
    Joe

    I would go metal headgasket .

    series 2 lower plenum will bolt on to a series 1 head but is a mismatch ..so no good

    So I'm aware that metal head gaskets need special machining just curious what's involved in the machining proccess and what's different from a normal grind?
    Is there a better brand than cometic without going over the top on price?

    IMHO I would stick to OEM head gasket unless you expect to achieve over 600HP.
