I am sure others will work but Felpro is the best I have ever used and I have never had one leak. NAPA as well as other places sells Felpro. It is a soft gasket. I spray it with copper coat spray also sold by NAPA. I have had a TISCO full metal gasket leak and replace it with a Felpro and never had a second problem. RE-torque once or twice after running for a while. [Reply]   [No Email]

Had some warped. It took 5-6 passes at .001 for the milling machine to to get it clean 2a - checked to make sure pistons did not hit head 3- Bought a Felpro gasket ($16) as recommended 4- Sprayed both sides of the gasket with copper gasket maker 5- cleaned block and head with acetone 6- Torqued to 75 lbs cold engine 7- ran it for 15 minutes 8- torqued to 75 lbs warm engine It looks great so far. Thank you all for the advice. I think this should be the recommended procedure for novices Obie [Reply]  [No Email]
