Better gasket
Do you experienced wrench-twisters prefer MOPAR, Fel-Pro, Cortico, or ?,
when doing a job for yourself? I always used Fel-Pro in the 70's, but have been away from major engine repairs for 10 years----till now. Thoughts? Jake. |

As far as gaskets go Fel-Pro is the best in my opinion,been using them for years! Unless building drag or race cares then I use something else being that Fel-Pro doesn’t make most of the special gaskets I need. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Chrysler-g...ict129925.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Impossible to answer completely *or* correctly until you tell us which specific gasket on what specific engine in what make, model and year of vehicle you're working with. Anybody who tells you any particular company makes all the best gaskets (distributor caps, light bulbs, tires, oil, whatever) is full of poo. Every product company has hits and misses.) |

I can't specifically answer your question, but my experience is that Fel-Pro still makes a decent product (I've used their gasket sets on Studebaker engines, but have not had any experience with a competitive product mostly because I haven't found one...) nate |

I conceed it was a vague, subjective question. I was fishing for opinions
in general. I had never heard of "Corteco" until I did some web surfing for parts. They seem to have a big market reach. (Surprise) --I began to suspect that my experiences from the 70's might be irrelevant. I hate that. Thanks for your opinions. Jake.

Over the last couple years, I've watched money (and features, and quality) get taken out of Fel-Pro gaskets that have been excellent for a long time. |

If it's an engine with alum heads and iron block, get a MLS gasket and be
done with it. Cometic makes them for virtually everything; Fel-Pro now has a partal line (mainly engines for which MLS was OEM.) On something like a 2.0 or the ol' Trenton 2.2L, the durabilty difference with MLS is astounding. Rick "Jake" > wrote in message news > I conceed it was a vague, subjective question.

Cometic makes them for virtually everything I have a bimetal Mopar engine (aluminum block, iron head, made at Trenton) for which Cometic doesn't make anything. I checked with them; they said "We're too busy right now, try back in Autumn and maybe we'll look at it". So I suppose that's something... |
