Headgaskets

[neverlift]

yeah I was just wanting something reusable... one day I plan to actually do a bottom end build.... even maybe try to make 400whp and stop the dd with it. I need to just make a thread w/ current setup and future plans

dd?

On a performance engine build, you are not using a gasket to seal ****ty mating surfaces. In demanding situations, it is imperative that the gasket is being used only for sealing purposes and has clamp load equally distributed across the entire surface of the gasket.

With that being said, Cometic does not suck because it won't seal your cylinder head that resembles a ruffles potato chip. And the OEM is not superior because it can seal that particular application. Each has its purpose.

You mentioned 350whp, and I never had a problem with the stock gasket at that power level.

I went with felpro and decking the head ALOT so now I'm faced with getting another head that isnt fuct in the a....

lucky I had a conservative tune

fanatic I was think along the lines of the block side... you know lil knicks when removing the gasket... wifes wash pad thing worked great

The next time I do a headgasket job, I am going to try some of those 3M plastic wheels for use with a die grinder. They look like a Sctoch-Brite pad. I tried them on some random piece of aluminum and they worked ****ing great.
