Head Gasket talk

no I don't have a Head Gasket Problem, but I will be pulling the Heads for some upgrades.



lets talk about the pros and cons of the Fel-Pro VS the GM OEM/Victor Reinz Head Gaskets.

its going to be on a build that should make 400+whp, Boost in the 15psi+ range. I will be using ARP Studs

I have a part number for the GM kit of 89017824 and that (INCLS VLV CVR,INT MANIF,CYL HD GSKTS,INT MANIF TO BLK SEAL)(INT-TO-BLK SEAL HAS 2 LOCATING PINS)(FOR 1ST DESIGN SEE 12538688).

The Fel Pro Kit includes a lot more Gaskets that I honestly wont use in the Heads/Cam Swap but are nice to have as a backup....
 


I've run both, and never had an issue with either. Car currently has a set of Fel-pros. I believe it more to be in the surface prep of the block/head, and proper torquing sequence.

I'd go with whichever is cheaper, or easier for you to get.
 
Either should be fine.

I sprayed a 175 shot on stock head bolts and Victor reinz gaskets without any problems. Lots of nitrous, and lots of detonation.
