    For stock bore, I would use OEM gaskets... if you were overboring (either BB setup or just cleaning up the cyl walls) then Felpro would be a great choice for you

    do you have any issues with your car?

    I'm going to be taking off my heads, and the OEM are $94 a side so it's gonna put a dent in my wallet. I might have to give up the luxury of eating for a while :lol:

    my recommendation was based on him not being able to find an aftermarket gasket in 3.55" bore. If Felpro makes them, then I am sure they are just as good as OEM

    Your looking at head gaskets right?? I'm pretty sure head gaskets are usually a little bigger then the bore of the cyclinder cause it's designed to fit the cyclinder head... unless I'm way out in left field.

    i remember reading the stock gasket is 3.7 but could be mistaken...i can take out the head gasket from my kit and measure it tomorrow if you'd like.

    and you would be correct. the head gaskets are slightly larger than the bore, but for reasons that I don't know.
