Head Gasket
Hello,
I have a blown head gasket and was wondering what you might recommend for a replacement. Manufacterer/type, etc. I'm running an MP62 s/c @ 6psi now. Plans include an A2A intercooler and possibly up to 8psi. Moss Motors recommended an OEM, but I'm leaning towards a Fel-Pro Thanks! |
FelPro will be fine.
|
Fel pro is the same as oem, except it's 4 ply vs oem 5 ply iirc. Fel pro ones are fine for what your using it for.
How did you blow a head gasket let alone at 6psi? My factory head gaskets have held 18psi on other bp's without complaint. |
The OEM gasket is much much nicer then the FelPro. I wish I would have taken pictures of the two side by side.
Use the OEM. |
Any four ply metal headgasket, even the EBA ones will do.
But please do NOT buy the cardboard Felpro HG. The metal ones are much better, I ran 12-15 psi all day on a 4 ply that I took out 2 of them, so it was a 2 ply HG and it never blew up, well the oil pump did, lol. |

I recently did the job with a FelPro gasket. So far, so good. Make sure to use ARP studs and not the stock weaksauce.
Thanks for everyone's input!!! |
