I also had good results with the gasket from the Dodge dealer. THe factor minivan part looks like a graphite gasket and works very well.

The one time I used a no name gasket from a rebuilder kit I when I went to re torque the head the exhaust side head bolts had really loosened up.

really? thanks. hmm...something to consider vs. the OE mitsu gasket for my year, which apparently is a composite gasket and for my completely OE rebuild seems like the ideal piece.

what year caravan...obv first gen, but does it matter what year?

ALSO, do you guys think it would be worse for me to use head bolts (vs. studs) with my setup considering it's completely stock? is the extra expense worth it?
