6n metal head gasket or standard g40 one

As above really. Whats the difference and what should i go with?

Head has been skimmed and the bottom end looks level. Have checked it out with a straight edge.

a metal one is thinner therefor increasing your CR. as you have had the head skimmed i would go with a standard one. will be good for all but the highest power G's...

well I would say with a standard CR bottom end, go for the thinner one.  Assuming the car is in good order a slight increase in CR is only a good thing

Ok then i will stick the metal one on.
