anyone use the fel pro 1006 i believe is what they are

[adamf4i]

the head gasket number thats on them i thought they were the fel pro loc wire gasket how does everyone feel about thesee im tryin to decide which gasket to buy or just replace that one like i said im not sure on the model number but the 1006 is at the top ?

[BLOWNBY]

What motor is this going on and what type of HP or boost?

[adamf4i]

its just what i had on there already so i figured to put it back on

im gettin another vortech soon its a 347 low compression 8 7 1

[BLOWNBY]

I run the Fel Pro Performance one 10112. Mine is a 351 ,the 302 i believe is the same one. But the gaskets have worked good for me.

[adamf4i]

what the pricing on those

[BLOWNBY]

Like $35 a piece.

[adamf4i]

are those for o ringed block?

just curious since im so dumb on this matter and i was told i should do it what is the o ring for? like gettin your block o ringed?

[BLOWNBY]

I don't believe so.


I believe the o ring is to help it seal and help prevent the head gasket blowing. They will still go before the pistons thought. Not like some all metal ones.

[adamf4i]

ya that makes sense well i guess i know what it means when he said he would o ring the block

[adamf4i]

what were you meaning by all metal ones?

and you said that o ring was just to help seal even more and prevent blow out

is that some kind of thing that is usually done with forced induction stuff?

They have some for example that are all copper, or multilayered steel. Must more resistant to blowing out.

They have held up great for four years with 13 psi and a year with 20 psi. I know they are more likley to blow than a piston when you detonate....as I found this out last summer when I made the mistake of running 20 psi with 93 octane at the track. I was just going for a "test run" :freaks: on my street tires. But since then they have been great. I know they last with some high boost yet will offer some protection if you detonate.

yes im sorry i meant like the o ring machineing that was done to the block its just pressed out right that is just machine work right there isnt a o ring or something that goes on there you know what i mean?

i know you were talkin bout your gaskets but i think i i need the o ring FPP-1006's cause of the o ring machine work i believe he did you know what i mean sorry for the confusing im started to confuse myself sorry again

[adamf4i]

so then if i would have the o ring machine work done on the block then i would need to use o ring style head gasket like the FPP-1006 right does the o ring have anything to do with your head

AHH. Yeah you should need the 1006. The ones I use probably would not work for you setup. You have an O ringed block now I take it then.

[adamf4i]

yep thats what i was tryin to say sorry , on the o ringed block though what is the purpose exactly? and it has nothing to do with your heads right you just got to get the o ringed gasket and thats it right i apologize again cause im slow about it
