Exclamation Gaskets!

I am getting ready to buy gaskets for my 305 build up. Has anyone used ROL gaskets? I am not buying Felpro, as I had problems with them fitting when I changed intake gaskets a while back. I know the Victor (GM) gaskets will fit nicely, just wondered what you guys like.... What head gaskets do you recommend, and would it be worth it to get thinner gaskets for my 305, or are they prone to leaking? Thanks... Jess

When I rebuilt the engine for my z. I ordered a complete kit from Summit. It wasn't felprd. And it worked great for me plus I had the cylinders bored 30 over

Felpro

The Felpro gaskets were a bit too wide and pushed against the valve covers. This was an intake gasket. It did not seal properly as a result, and we had to do it again a short time later. I bought a second set of Felpros because I didnt know of the problem, and we cut them on a grinder before installing them. They are still on the car after about 4 years now.

Has anyone used ROL??? They sell on Ebay all the time, and are cheaper than Felpros....
