thanks for the insight guys
obviously I think fel-pro is a good brand or I wouldn't have bought the whole kit to begin with but I wasn't sure if comp cams wouldn't have the home field advantage here
You think more highly of Comp Cams than I do. Fel-Pro is it, where gaskets and sealing is concerned for me. Chrysler sold those Viton seals in their Mopar Performance division and were OEM in later small blocks.
