Title: intake gasket set
Post by: stockgp on July 05, 2010, 12:08:49 PM
is the fel pro molded rubber gasket set available for our motor?

i've been to autozone and all i've been able to find is the paper gaskets

i have 1.6 rockers, lifters and pushrods to put in and i'd like to get the best gasket set available

also, it looks like i can change the oil pan gasket without taking the getrag out.  anyone here done it?

I think my newest fel pro upper intake gasket set was metal with rubber lining the intake ports. I don't remember what the LIM gasket looked like. I don't think I have the PN laying around..

the T series permadry sets are only available for the 3x00 series engine if i remember correctly, never came across them in the listing for the earlier models.

The standard fel-pro kits work fine for the 3.1 MPFI's. I've been running them for 7+ years. They're as good as the factory stuff was or maybe better.

Yea bud fel pro is just fine. Ive been running the complete intake gasket kit in my 89 race car and even re used them once so far, with no problems.

i figured as much, but thought i'd ask.  i seem to remember changing the gaskts on a coup[le of my 3.1s over the years and they all got paper.

thanks fellas

That's kinda how I felt when I pulled the heads off my 89 for the first time and found out I had copper core head gaskets on it. I really was unsure about the felpros but they are holding fine.
