Thanks for the tips guys, I've been in Germany since Feb. 27 and I am going home on Aug. 29. My motor is apart for a freshen up. I ran the cheap Fel Pro gaskets the first 100 passes. I took the motor down to take a look and all looked good so I am gonna put new bearings and gaskets and a new converter when i get home and hopefully get out to the track the next Fri. for some test n tune. I have a small 125 shot on the car also that I want to try on this motor when I can get the suspension dialed in. I never have got it to hook since i put the new motor and the 9" rear with 4.56 gears. I ran a best of 7.23 with a TCI pos converter on a 1.55 spinning 60'. So I think with some tuning and some new tires the car has high 6's on the motor in it. I can't wait to get back to the good ol USA!!!

There has been lots of discussion about this in the past,some guys use "copper coat" gasket sealant on the Fel Pro #1016 headgaskets,IIRC PDdude is one of them.

I'm sure there are some threads about this in the archives,a search should pull that info up.
