I ran an SCE Titan ICS head gasket on my turbo saturn, Its extremely important to make sure you retorque the head after the first heat cycle...it will be way loose lol

Also make sure to apply 4~5 coats of Permatex copper coat to it to aid in sealing

Get the Cometic mls LD9 gasket and you don't have to worry about it leaking.

the SCE Titan ICS is not for use with O-Ringed blocks and heads..it has silicone beads around the water jackets and a wire combustion ring

I dont know what brand mine is but it came with the block and already had o-rings.

one thing i found odd about SCE... they claim that it doesnt matter, you can use the same gasket on either a q4 or an LD9....

yes i know, i ordered one and it was for the quad 4, but i'm using a 086 head and only 1 needed to be drill. i have no problem since. havent drive much tho.
i guess you would have to specify when ordering.

My block is O-ringed so I need to use a copper gasket
