HEAD GASKET CHOICE??

[yasika116]

just picked up a pi motor out of a 2000 mustang and im going to be doing cams intake and other odd and ends to make better flow. next year i want to run some boost probably a centrifugal charger and wondering what you guys recommend for head gaskets???


thanks guys!

Best to just use OEM ones.

No use felpro performance gaskets. The OEM ones won't hold higher boost.

thanx guys i was trying to chose between felpro and ford racing but most of what i hear is to stick with felpro so thank you much!

I have a local turbo car holding 20lbs of boost for the last 2.5 years on OEM gaskets.

Getting over 20lbs I would use the Titan copper wire ring gaskets.

use the oem gaskets like stated. i have them on my built 4v and they are holding boost with no troubles. they are awesome. verrrry similar to the cometic gaskets.

what bout aftermarket studs or bolts??

ARP headsteads are ideal if you have the motor out of the car.

mine are holding up just fine. use the ford gaskets and you will be fine
