Hisun 500EFI head gasket replacement

Head gasket replacement, what’s a top quality head gasket to use? Should a person stud the head? Where would I find a place that sells both? Thank you for any info.

You won't get much better than OEM in my opinion as far as gaskets go.

As far as studding the head, I'll say leave well enough alone.

But use new head bolts?

I don’t think oem are that great after looking at what was on water pump. Gasket didn’t even cover the hole surface. Made my own out of gasket material. So that’s why I ask about head gasket. It’s leaking allready with less than 500 hrs. Just as water pump did.

Definitely use new head bolts, 

About the head gasket, I looked for aftermarket, but they were all Chinese made and like $4 a piece.

but there is this, not sure if pricing though https://coppergaskets.us
