Re: Head Gasket Availability
I realize these results may not be typical and many of you guys wouldnt suggest fel pro replacement gaskets i thought i would post our expierence with the fel pro replacement gaskets anyway.
I installed a set of fel pro head gaskets on a customers typhoon about 11 months ago,at the time i was not aware of any upgraded aftermarket gaskets being available, i was not a owner of a syclone or typhoon yet and due to the time issue i had to deal with him needing the vehicle on monday and it was friday evening when he brought the typhoon in we had little options other then off the shelf autozone gaskets.
anyway thow it states no sealant requiredon the fel pro blue permatorque gaskets i sprayed them with hi tac (Copper gasket spray ) anyway and while i was disassembling the upper end the gaskets were allowed to dry properly,we then cleaned and reassembled the eng the next morning with these gaskets and a new set of head bolts and it has been just under a year since the head gaskets were replaced and there has been no issue,and previous to the replacement of the head gaskets being replaced we upgraded the turbo to a t3t4 57 trim T04-E with an external 40mm wastegate and he runs 16 PSI with a HKS AIC Controller and a set of 6 extra stock injectors and he drives the truck hard on a daily basis, and the best part was the head gaskets were only 9.99 each i know usually get what you pay for and i ws concerned at the time with the gaskets lasting but i wouldnt think twice about useing them on my typhoon after this expierence
just my 2 cents
good luck man
