I'm about to put my motor back together. I'm wondering if the impalla gasket may be too thin for the aluminum heads. Will it cause any sealing problems or will there be any issues with the aluminum head expanding when hot?

 

Nope, problem free

 

Ive had good and bad results, my bad result though was from a lean tune that blew the headgasket. So I guess it wasnt really the gaskets fault.

 

not a single problem. Cheap and easy way to get a tiny compression boost!

Not very forgiving in a lean situation. I blew one out this year.

Well I guess the key is to get a good tune. Thanks for the replies.

 

Where do you all get yours at? Part #s?

I just found them at cmotorsports.com

Thanks anyway.

 

nope, no problems

 

i blew one cuz of a bad tune also... course i blew up a piston too.. soo...
no problems hear.

 

Mr. Gasket head gaskets .026" thick no problems here, about $33 a pair at your local parts store or Summit

 

I have been using them for over 5 years and 60,000+ miles with no problems. My motor is on the mild side compared to some though.

 

One more question. After the motor has been heat cycled, was it necessary to retorque the head bolts?
