i seen altrom at the local parts house and was wondering if the kp brand gaskets are any good ? does the head gasket screw like the felpro ones ? or do i only need to use the 50 buck ebay one ?

Just use the Ebay one. There are enough people on this forum to give you enough confidence in the Ebay headgasket. I run them, Geo Glenn uses them, and several others here use them aswell. Its a very nice gasket for the price. Its probably better than OEM quality

Look up geo metro no blow head gasket.
Be advised that what ever head gasket you decide to go with you need to check
the oil return holes for proper size

The "no blow" is no exception!!

Nice link. Wrong information posted, still. Those two holes are crankcase vents. No need to enlarge them. The oil drain holes are on the other side of the head gasket by the spark plugs. I did it once. Damn near wrecked the gasket. Never again, and never a problem.
