CRX Cometic Headgasket questions

[Sparsky]

Well... popped a head gasket last month and finally got around to tearing it down and making sure that was the problem, and that everything else is still in good condition (straight) . Being that this is the second head gasket in 2 years and both of them cracked on the metal edge in the combustion chamber and blew out the gasket material into the water jets. i wonder how much better an all metal Headgasket like a Cometic would be? Anyone ever use one? Any horror stories? Did a quick google search and didn't come up with much. Don't enen know what thickness to go with yet, so if someone can recomend a thickness i'd appreciate it. (I'm think it'd be Honda CRX Si SOHC 75.5MM, .040" MLS D15/16) I have a standard d16a6 if that helps.

This is the only site i know of so far to get one. If anyone knows a better one please let me know. Thanks again.

Forgot to change my post, but after more reading last nite on Hondatech I saw the z6 thread and bought a feelpro one for 28 bucks local, lot cheaper and quicker than the Cometic. Thanks for the quick reply, hopefully I'll start driving nicer so I don't have to keep doing this.
