Doing headstuds, what gaskets should I use?

[Rene G]

I am about to install some headstuds and am wondering if I should use Ford's upgraded gaskets, or if it would be better to use Hypermax.

Thanks, Rene G

IMHO the upgraded fords should be fine.... but doug is the man in the know

i have the upgraded ford gaskets in my truck and they work great

Nothin wrong with the Ford Gasket. Its multi-layered-steel. Same type of setup as a cometic gasket.

Douglas..do you recommend o-ringing the head?

[mikeym]

doug generally recommends whatever your most expensive option is...

LMAO..or wont let you spend your money..either or:upyours:

If you oring the head you will need to switch to a copper gasket or have the stock gaskets cut to accept the ring. You could look at it if you plan on going alot higher with the boost level or if you will be shooting alot of nitrous in there.
