On ebay there is a cometic head gasket for ca18et. I use one and no fabrications are needed.

see pic of modified DET cometic to fit ET. this is actually the one Cweeks bought from TurboMike. it shows the extra two water way holes that need to be cut
my engine uses MIG wire block and std nissan HG too, i have lower comp forged pistons rather than thicker head gasket

theres a few threads on sxoc (search for Stewb) regarding weeping between the layers,either water or oil, due to the 'open' layer design compared to much more expensive jap MHGs, but doesnt seem to stop them working well to be fair.
