FELPRO head gasket on Super C?

Posted by leon on December 30, 2006 at 18:03:17 from (12.208.250.95):

The head gasket that C-IH sells fo the Super C is marked
FELPRO. I put one in maybe a year ago and it held for a while,
then began to seep antifreeze, so I did the job again. Second
time I was very thorough - checked head and block for flatness,
checked liner standout, throughly cleaned all surfaces, used
copper spray, in proper sequence carefully torqued, then
retorqued the head while hot. It held for a month or two, but
now after setting for several weeks, it's seeping antifreeze again.
Upon careful examination, the seepage seems to be coming
through the fiber-like material that is sandwiched between the
steel top and bottom layers of the gasket. I suppose with a leak
of this nature, stop leak would fix it, but I don't think one should
have to use stop leak with a new gasket.

Any of you had this experience? Anybody know where to get a
gasket that is not made up with the porus fiber material in the
middle fo the sandwich? What brands of gaskets have worked
and where did you get them? My C-IH dealer may get a couple
of FELPRO's back!
