koolrayz Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Kurt at W2W convinced me to try the new MLS felpro gasket, it has a polymer coating. So far so good. Is your car just leaking coolant, or have the cylinders blown by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 No, I was in the truck. That would explain why I didnt see you,I could spot that vette a mile away.

koolrayz Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Eastside performance gave me a part# a felpro gasket I should run.(good for 300+) Felpro paid W2W to test a couple sets on there engine dyno under high boost and them send them to them. Kurt said they are currently the best option available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98fiveseven1647545503 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm an oil pump away from pulling ya down the high way john only because No one else seems like they will have guts to call you out .... and its not just because my car doesn't remember how to build pressure either. I just hope I can get enough spray to keep up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 John, have you tried the 3 piece metal gaskets. I have had good luck with them. They seem to handle alot of power and spray with ease. Also when I saw you in your car, I noticed it from a ways back, that color is so nice looking with the polished wheels.

koolrayz Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 How hard have you pushed them? I havent "really leaned" on them yet. I only have about 40# of nitrous and 2200 miles on this engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I've had pretty good luck with the metal Greddy or HKS (can't remember, it's been so long) and currently a cometic. Haven't had a single problem yet. With metal ones, you really have to be sure those surfaces are mirror smooth and go with some ARP's if you haven't already.

Scotty2Hotty Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 SCE's gasket's are upwards of .040 thick, I'd honestly try a set. The fel-pro's are nice, but have just a bit of a metal core in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has tried the SCE. The felpro I am refering to are not the junk blue gaskets. They are a 3 piece MLS system very much like the cometics. They are coated with a polymer that help seal the coolant. I had good luck with the cometics. Any problems I had last year were due to fuel/tune issues that were related to my direct port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
