Head gasket types.....

I am treating the cylinder head of my Blacktop Zetec to a porting job and 3 angle valve seats. When I get around to mating the head back on the block, which type of head gasket would people recommend I use? Can the MLS type gasket be used on any blacktop engine? Is it necessary to use an MLS gasket on a NA motor...?
Cheers,
IanM

Not sure you really need one (MLS) on a NA engine.

Take a look at:

Seems like over kill and you will want to skim the head and maybe block from the looks of it.
