Head, intake, and valvecover gaskets
Reading the archives about various brands and numbers of gaskets ,I want to readdress this question again. I had a ( sofar) unidentified coolant leak into the oil . The crack that was found in one head, was not blamed for the leak into the oil causing foam. The crack was blamed for the stain on the floor of my garage. Going back into this subject with any condition changes that are current. I have a Ford 427 Side oiler iron block and Dove alluminum heads. Fel Pro Performance #1020 head gaskets were recamended by George Anderson. He recamanded Victor #9519SG intake gaskets, no explanation on why he liked them better. I had been using Fel Pro # 1246 gaskets before, maybe that was the problem? Summit and Jeg's do not carry Victor gaskets. If Victor is the best intake gasket why are they not being carried by more stores? If you are crossing the brand of gaskets then what is the better setup and why. Taking this apart is a choir, it not that much fun anylonger and it is getting expensive.
Then we go into the valve cover gasket area. . I have the alluminum valvecovers , I have to pretty much glue the gaskets to the covers . Reusing glued gasketes that have been used is not working. Maybe I have the wrong cover gaskets Please waid on in .
Any recamedations on gaskets or addheasives and preperations.
