Head Gasket question
I purchased a Felpro set. I see some people recommend a three part gasket. Head will go to shop for test and surface. Also I see old and new torque specs. Any advice would be appreciated.
|
What's the question?
|
My Fel-pro gasket is a graphic, Fel-pro also makes a 3 ply #9123PT. Is one better than the other, and is there a different torque spec for each?
|
Not sure of torque specs, but I would highly suggest getting the 3 layered gasket. The layers actually crush onto eachother to make a better seal. OEM is a 3 layer, too.
Are you planning on re-using the stock head bolts? |

That is your opinion on reusing bolts. Found ebay bolts for $38.00, what do you think?

In a stock setup it is OK to re-use the stock bolts, that is probably preferable to no-name ebay bolts. The torque spec is based on the strength of the bolts; the type of gasket wouldn't matter.

For bolts, OEM or ARP only.

Thanks for your advice.
