Indy/RHS X HEADS GASKET UPDATE

1wild&crazyguy said

Louis, does the 1008 felpro high compression gasket fit the same as the 519 perma torque?
Thats a real question, since I don't have the 2 in front of me.lol

FWIW I used the regular perma torque's on my 410 w/10.1 comp, but that ain't 11.+ comp so..



So it looks like they based these heads on using the magnum 92-current head gaskets, which because I don't care for magnum top ends didn't know there was a different head gasket, I learned today.

Per HUGHES and for what that is worth, Tim over there says they have running engines using the 519SD and that the 1008 gasket will not fit.

Yes the gasket will need to magnum based.........kind of gets me pissed a bit. Don at 4secondsflat is helping me to see if Cometic will change out their die program for the MINOR changes that would need to take place.

I do have the 519SD gasket and the Cometic side by side. There is only a minor difference in the areas posted earlier. Good thing I found this out or I would have had a MAJOR leak right at break in of the engine. That would have sucked!!

If need be I will run the Felpro, just didnt want to if I had a choice is all.

Also after working on the Magnum heads I would not ever go this route again......just my opinion!
