GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT GASKETS  

A NOTE ABOUT OUR GASKETS:

OUR BUSINESS IS SUPPLYING QUALITY PARTS FOR VINTAGE PERFORMANCE ENGINES. WE WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING TO KEEP YOU ON THE ROAD AND HAVING FUN. THE GASKETS WE OFFER HAVE BEEN TESTED IN THE FIELD BY US AND HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS OVER MANY MANY YEARS. COMPARED TO OTHER STYLES AND BRANDS THE GASKETS OFFERED HERE HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE HARDY AND LONG LASTING. . . IF THEY WEREN'T, WE WOULDN'T OFFER THEM TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

HEAD GASKETS, ESPECIALLY FOR PERFORMANCE ENGINES, ARE ALWAYS SUBJECT TO A WIDE VARIETY OF OPERATING CONDITIONS, THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER, THEREFORE WE CAN NOT OFFER A WARRANTY.

OUR HEAD GASKETS ARE GRAY/BLACK CARBON FIBER - SANDWICHED OVER STEEL CORE, WITH STEEL FIRE RINGS AROUND CHAMBERS AND A LEAK PREVENTATIVE POLYMER COATING. ONE TIME USE.

OUR CARBON FIBER HEAD GASKETS ARE MADE BY THE "BEST GASKET COMPANY", WHICH HAVE PROVEN TO BE YOUR VERY BEST FIRST CHOICE IN PERFORMANCE ENGINES. . . . THE EXTRA PROTECTION FOR YOUR DAILY DRIVER IS AN ADDED PLUS.

OUR RACING SOLID COPPER GASKETS ARE CUSTOM MADE BY US FROM VIRGIN COPPER SHEETS, ANNEALED TO 3/4 SOFT AND PRECISION CUT BY WATER JET CNC PROCESS. .062" IS NORMAL & .090" IS POSSIBLE. MOST ARE SPECIAL ORDER. PLEASE INQUIRE.

HEAD GASKET  INSTALLATION TIPS  FOR  CARBON FIBER  HEAD GASKETS:

STAMPED PART NUMBER OR NAME GOES UP TO THE SKY.

DO NOT USE SEALERS OR GASKET CEMENT - THE POLYMER COATING DOES THE TRICK.

TORQUE FOR A MODEL "A" OR "B" SHOULD BE LIMITED TO 55 POUNDS IN 90% OF CASES.

TORQUE TO 55 POUNDS. OVER TORQUE WARPS THE BLOCK BY PULLING METAL UP AND DISTORTING THE CYLINDER BORES ENOUGH THAT A SEAL IS IMPOSSIBLE.

CARBON FIBER GASKETS (& ALL OTHER TYPES) REQUIRE AT LEAST 3 TORQUES. . . . .INSTALL GASKET AND TORQUE TO 55 POUND. RUN ENGINE TO NORMAL TEMPERATURE (THERE WILL BE SOME SEEPAGE). ALLOW IT TO COOL OVER NIGHT. RE-TORQUE TO 55 POUNDS (IT WILL NEED IT). RUN ENGINE TO TEMPERATURE (WEEPING SHOULD HAVE STOPPED) AND LET COOL. RE-TORQUE TO 55 POUND (IT WON'T NEED AS MUCH). RUN THE NEXT DAY TO TEMP, LET COOL AND RE-TORQUE. IT SHOULD BE CLOSE TO SETTLED IN. IF NOT, DO IT ONE MORE TIME AFTER IT COOLS. FOLLOW THIS WITH A RE-TORQUE AFTER 300 MILES AND YOU SHOULD BE SET.

ALL HEAD GASKETS, OF ANY KIND, TEND TO FAIL WHEN DRIVEN UNDER STRESS. A COMMON EXAMPLE IS LUGGING UP A HILL IN HIGH GEAR WHEN YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE IN SECOND OR FIRST GEAR (CAUSES TREMENDOUS HEAT AND PRESSURE). RACING CONDITIONS CREATE CATASTROPHIC HEAT AND STRESS. YOU SHOULD HAVE A COUPLE EXTRA GASKETS IN THE TRUNK.

ALUMINUM HEADS EXPAND AND CONTRACT AT A DIFFERENT RATE THAN CAST IRON BLOCKS. THIS CAUSES THE GASKET SEAL TO BREAK.
