Subject: head gaskets?
IP: Logged

Message:
Every one is talking about different head gasket to run. Those who have run 1008 say they blow. Those who are running them say there fine. For the longest time these were the best. Are the Mr gasket solicors better? Are these rol gaskets good or do they just fit the application. If any one is running solicor what is your luck and are you running high compression,blower, or nitrous. I would like to know before I put my 340 back together because i'll be running 11:1 compresion and spraying 200 shot of nitrous. Lets hear some feed back please

Thanks Kevin

Here's the gaskets i'll be using:

http://www.rolmfg.com/

They're very high quality and they also have them specifically for the Magnum V6/V8.

The FelPro 1008's do work rather well but it depends on the installation....

(1) Were the heads decked before reinstallation (check for trueness)
(2) Were studs or bolts used
(3) Were the studs checked for lenghth (making sure they're not too long)
(4) Were the heads torqued down properly

Yes I would like to know too. I am about to purchase either today or tommorow. My heads are off and waiting to be put back on. I need some feedback on the solicors.... because I want something with a reputation. As for the rol.... If your recommend them, and they are available to buy now... I wouldnt mind being a lab rat. I just want to drive my truck again. Also, who has the arp head bolts in stock, I cant seem to find anybody with them in stock.
