SBC Turbo Head Gaskets

[KWIKR 1]

What are you big dawgs running for head gaskets in you turbo SBC and BBC ? and at what boost ? I picked up a set of FelPro Performance MLS head gaskets (#1142) . It seems these and the Cometic's are the the ones to use . I "heard" these Felpros are are just like cometic , but "supposedly" better. a few $$ cheaper and less weeping problems .

Felpro MLS tend to lose their coating in SBC applications ,Cometics on the otherhand do not lose its coating. For my SBC im using copper gaskets with o-rings.Its a bit more insurance when i decide to turn up the boost.

I only plan on running what 94 octane will allow me with a splash of race gas if I go to the track . so..... I'm thinking the FelPro MLS should fit the bill .

Just FYI some have been having issues with the new blue coating on the Felpro MLS gasket. Lots of info on the net. I would use Cometic or Mr. Gasket MLS.
