Default Source for Tunnel Port intake gaskets

Mr Gasket used to catalog this gasket under #205 or #205G. When I look at their on-line catalog I see no offering now. Does anyone know if there is another source.

Thanks

I have got 2 sets ordered but won't be here until Monday. Mr Gasket still mfgs them but you have to go to their off-line catalog to find them.

At least I can get it apart this weekend. Thanks for all the responces.

Mike,

I actually ordered 2 sets today and they will be here Monday. Interestingly I actually saw a pic on one of the sites that showed a production change in and around the waterpassage. We will see which ones I end up with. The newer gasket is made of the same material.

Thanks for helping me out.
Ray

Hi Ray,
I have gaskets for all kind of strang engines. I have tons of old Ford, Pontiac RAM AIR V, Hemis etc. I've stocked these for 25+ years. I must be crazy....

The ones that Dennis at DSC sells are the correct oem type with the coolant passage cut outs like the OEM Ford C8AZ-9441-C gaskets. I have 2 sets of Ford oem and Mr Gasket (sorry not for sale) and can send you some comparison pics. The oem's with the coolant slits don't wick coolant anywhere that I notice but do have crush rings around each port and coolant passage. So I'm not really sure of their purpose and to me they look like a weak link if the gasket blew around the coolant passage. The material is not the same between the Ford and Mr Gasket 205 sets. I have both pics of gaskets on the intake and the on head. PM me with your email addy if interested and maybe you can post them here for all to see. Good luck with your R&R.
