Bought 5 sets of head gasgets from a business close-out($10/set-score
)
There was 4 sets of 9441 and 1 set of 8723. I have used the 9441's, but have not seen the 8723's before. The 8723's look very nice, different material and seem a little thinner. Looks like they would hold up nice, so I am thinking of putting them on. Any one use these? Good? Bad?
Thanks
From the info i could find the 8723 head gaskets are not designed to be used in our turbo engines. Here is that info on head gaskets.
