need a better head gasket
i literally just replaced my head gaskets with those included with the fel-pro top end kit, and they are leaking both internally and externally. i have found arp head bolts which i am going with instead of buying another set of tty bolts. now im looking for a better quality set of head gaskets. the only ones i have found are from flatout gaskets, and are 3 layer mls with a nitrile coating, but are about $90 a piece. does cometic make any head gaskets for my vehicle? i've lost faith in fel-pro now

you sure the leak isn't caused by the head itself not being plum anymore? did you have it checked out to ensure by a machine shop? warped heads still leak after installing new gaskets

heads were gone over. one is a reman as i had a crack in the intake port through the valve seat. the other was the original, which was rebuilt once before in 1998. i found some from mr. gasket, but the oem prices arent bad and will probably go gm

was this AFTER u changed the head gasket? or before? or during it?

before changing it, it was leaking internally to the cylinder for about a year. it was very minor and didnt cause any issues, but got progressivly worse. i replaced them with fel-pro and within 2 days they were seeping externally and by weeks end, leaking internally. i bought a set of oem gaskets, and will now get some arp head bolts
