Thanks for the info, i got time so, i will prolly just do it myself. will if you do, get you some wet/dry sand paper 800 or so, and a flat peice of glass(its what i use, it dont flex) and wet down the head gasket area on the block and heads and rub them till there nice and smooth. helps the mls gasket seal up better. but do this after you clean them!

Ramsey Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 cometics Do you know what part number? where is the best place to get them? Will i need to machine the heads or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Do you know what part number? where is the best place to get them? Will i need to machine the heads or anything? no machine work just do what i was talking about in this thread, about cleaning the heads and block real well. they have to have a very smooth surface to seal. il look at part numbers and see what i find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I used a Mr Gasket brand MLS on my 2.3t with studs at 28psi and it held up they make mls gasket for 5.0 also now,l not to say anything bad about them, but when those things first came out, i installed them in a buddies car, and it was mainly stock, studs, etc. on spray, and we couldnt keep those in that motor(i changed them 3 times), we moved to standard felpros and the air in the coolant system after a few hard pass's was gone.after a few spray pass's, we would get air in the cooling system.
