Fel-Pro 9441 PT-permanent torque is a good choice-i have an extra set if you re interested.

Your going to get a ton of suggestions on H/G's. I choose the RJC's and arp studs. That would be the way to go IMO.

I wouldn't shange heads. There have been plenty of guys that have gone ten's on boost with stock h/c/i. It would be a good chance to have them gone through and maybe ported while you had it apart though. You can run the stock rockers, but you might look at hardened shafts or the supports that RJC offers. Just my .02. J

i think spooln was asking what caused the gasket to blow? bad tune? too much boost? was it overheated and warped the head? no point in fixing it if the cause isn't fixed.

 

[liv4gnz]

its not blown its leaking

search button, research, homework, books......

Depends on how much power you're making. If you're going say high 11's the 9441pt's should work great. Only reason they would blow or leak in that range would be operator error. (either install or tuning) If you start pushing further than that you may want to look into a more durrable gasket. That's my opinion.

liv4gnz,

I have noticed many posts from you lately. Please make a note of this:

The correct spelling is "which".
