head gasket oddities
« on: October 09, 2012, 10:10:50 PM »
I should be getting my heads back later this week so I was laying out the kit to get the rest of the motor put back together. Took a quick glance at the head gaskets.. then another longer look. Is there a reason why the head gasket in the Felpro engine kit has non-round cylinder bore?



As opposed to nearly every other manufacturer like Mr. Gasket?



Is this a big deal or should i just go ahead and install it?   ???

It's to fit the D-shaped chambers of some cylinder heads.  You may need the top gasket if you're not running smaller chamber aluminum heads.
