badprix Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 I'm changing my head gaskets and i think I'm gonna have the heads milled .035 and i was wondering if anyone knew of any performance gaskets Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Fel-Pro should be good enough. I don't know that there is a "performance" head gasket for our motors. Quote
Robby1870 Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Fel-Pro should be good enough. I don't know that there is a "performance" head gasket for our motors. No, not enough compression to warrant a "peformance" gasket Robby Quote
JS91Z34 Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 You can have a copper head gasket made specially for any motor. They are expensive though. I had one made for my T-Bird(4 cyl turbo) and it cost me about 189 bucks. It lets me boost 25 p.s.i. steadily with lifting the head. Great for nitrous applications Quote
brian89gp Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Felpro is more then enough. If you are still worried about it either use copper gaskets or o-ring the head. Quote
NDN-Grand Prix Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 What other gaskets are required when replacing the head gaskets. I found a kit, but do you really need all the other stuff? 95 3100 sfi Grand Prix SE Quote
Redfox340 Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 What other gaskets are required when replacing the head gaskets.I found a kit, but do you really need all the other stuff? 95 3100 sfi Grand Prix SE It's recommended but pretty much every engine builder to replace the gaskets you pulled off. They are a one-time-use item; besides, when you rebuild something that is indepth as such a repair... do you really want to do it again just for not putting in a new gasket because your re-used one cracked in the process? I don't. - RedFox340 Quote
god910 Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 Has anyone priced having a 3.8 O-ringed? I know it varies shop to shop but I was seriously considering it, because the more I think about it, I may want to run high boost at the dragstrip, and low on the street. (18-20psi strip & 6-12 street.) I would like to build it right once instead of wrong twice. Quote
Brian P Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 I'm changing my head gaskets and i think I'm gonna have the heads milled .035 and i was wondering if anyone knew of any performance gaskets Kinda! You can use the head gaskets meant for an Iron headed 2.8/3.1 V6 but I don't know how it is long term! Quote
NDN-Grand Prix Posted June 12, 2003 Report Posted June 12, 2003 I have found gasket kit for the 3100, and it's costing about 396.00 cdn thats with every thing, bottom and top of the motor. I was just wondering if it's any cheeper any where else? thanx for the information. Quote
