| Original FE parts durability/reliability question |
| By Robert - 04/12/2001 2:02:51 AM; IP 66.8.156.146 |
| Open question: What are your experiences with the old original Ford trick parts, specifically the steel-shim head gaskets and the original hollow stem/sodium filled intake and exhaust valves. I've heard the gaskets don't seal that well, compared to modern gaskets, although they do have the least compression height. I've also heard the hollow stem valves used to break off the valve head or that the sodium corroded the inside of the valve stem over the years and made them unsafe. Can anyone substantiate these claims? Mahalo, Robert |
