I posted this on that other forum, but I also wanted to know what you guys think as well.
I'm probably going to pull my heads off for porting later this year. When I put them back on I'd like to use a good head gasket that's going to last like my OEM's have but I'm hoping to use a gasket that'll have a thinner compressed thickness as well so's I can increase my compression a bit. And yes, I'm planning to use new head bolts. |

Felpro makes what you want, I just don't remember the number.

If it is not an LT1, I normally use the Fel-Pro 7733PT-2
L-98's had a .051 compressed thickness factory gasket, and the Fel-Pro comes in at .039 Inexpensive, and I have never (yet) had a problem with them. If you want thin, Victor makes an .026, but be sure to see how far down the hole your pistons are. If zero deck, you cant use them. ..040 total quench is what I usually target with steel rods. I have run as tight as .034 without issues, but hate to go that tight. The above assumes you are not boosting, or spraying the balls off it. |
