New gaskets stops oil drinking problem
By James - 06/29/2003 2:58:57 AM; IP 66.139.157.25
My 428 has always been thirsty when it came to oil. I never could figure out why so I changed to Victor Reins intake gaskets as an experiment. The Fel-Pro gaskets were so soft that they distored when torqued down cracking and moving to let oil to be sucked right into the intake port on the head.

The Victor Reins gaskets have steel in them and a graphite facing so they keep there shape no matter what and they are cheaper than Fel-Pro Printo-SealĀ© gaskets.

I didn't finish the gasket swap until 11:00 PM last night so I waited until today to take it on a 100 mile road trip to varify the results. There was no smoking and the oil consumsion probem was gone.

I was using about a quart every 100 miles and it used to smoke pretty bad along with oil fowling plugs.

We need to continue to spread the word on these Victor Reins intake gaskets.
