RE: Steel shim

By Will - 01/17/2001 1:35:48 PM; IP 24.162.190.33

I've heard the only way to go is the .041 thick Felpro gasket. It has to do with the different expansion rates of iron block vs. alum head. Since there is obviously an issue there, I'd either use the Fel-Pro gasket (I think it's the permatorque) or one recommended by Edelbrock.

I wanted to use the steel shim as well, but it's not worth screwing up an engine. (seeping coolant, hydrolock, etc.)

This thread, so far...
