I bought this motor and it looks to have a metal HG (partial metal loop sticks out. How can I tell what head gasket it is? Is it as simple as taking a micrometer to it? About to get Enthalpy tune and not sure what to say on this. Thanks guys!!!

Just tell Enthalpy you got a metal HG and you're not sure how thick it is. Its not like metal HG will drop compression that much to make difference in their rich ass rom tune.
