Q: Are your Mugen products genuine or replicas?
A: All of the products listed under the Mugen brand on our site are genuine Mugen parts and/or accessories. In some cases, you may see products listed under other brands on our site that say "Mugen Style" or possibly something such as "MGN style" in the description. In those cases, those parts are replicas if the brand logo next to them on our website is not the Mugen logo, and the descriptions provided by those manufacturers are meant to describe, yet differentiate these products from authentic Mugen parts.
Q: What is a head gasket? Why buy a head gasket?
A: The head gasket is located in between your head and your bottom block to help prevent compression leaks and coolant leaks. When your vehicle overheats, there's a chance the head gasket is blown, or if you're running a high horsepower vehicle or one with a lot of boost, it can warp and blow. Aftermarket head gaskets are made out of copper or metal and protect against high horsepower levels and huge boost levels.
Q: How do you install a head gasket?
A: Head gaskets should be left to the pros since the engine must be removed along with the head, and since machine work must be performed on the block.
