does this gasket fit the 7mge

Yes. The 7M-GE and the 7M-GTE both use the same head gasket.

Do keep in mind that if you decide to go with a metal HG that the head and block deck both need to be VERY flat (flatter than you'll be able to tell by looking at them) and that both may require machining for the HG to seal properly.

^ The man's right, but they WILL require machining, there is no may about it...

sorry to spark this up again but i didnt want to ask the same ? in a new thread. i thought that only if you went more than 1.2 than you would have to machine it otherwise a 1.2 will require no machining? just something i thought i heard somewhere. id like to get a metal HG but i dont exactly know what maching is or how much that costs? or where to even get it done.

The thickness of the headgasket has nothing to do with how much it was machined, or even how smooth the surface is.

They offer different thickness headgaskets because if you machine too much off of either the head or block, or both combined, the thicker gasket allows you to keep the stock compression ratio.

Any good machine shop can do the work, but keep in mind, to have the block machined, it has to be bare.
