So I managed to find a reputable company to work on my Sx now they gonna be doing my head gasket and turbo all I have to do is supply the headgasket. So I called around and managed to get a Payen for a good price. What I wanna know is, is it fine to fit a CA18DE payen gasket to the CA18DET? Pls Lemme know urgently as I need to get everything sorted today. Thanks

i would say the best would be to find a cometic (steel) one

Ideally Cometic is the way to go, but the last time I bought a cometic hg for a 3sgte motor, it was around R1600 and that was from someone with an incomplete project. I'm getting the Payen for R350 from Midas which is a good deal.

its beter than the R1800.00 for a sr20det one and you can only get them from nissan. the cometic for the sr20det is only R1200.00 and that was with the rand at 10.30

Stock payne gasket ARP bolts.
The stock bolts don’t hold torque well an with a cometic it will get even worse
