I just got some small block Corteco/ROL head gaskets and they are still white. But ROL always had very good prices for what you got in head gaskets. I hope these are as good. But it may be a while before I actually put the white ones to use because I have a fresh engine that's been ready to go in that was assembled with the old dark grey HT ROL gaskets.

Corteco..which is now ROL!! And they are not white anymore,they are a light blue color.




So are these Edelbrock Corteco's any good? Seem awful cheap in price.




I thought so too, and they are available. I bought a set a while back, but haven't run that engine .....yet.

I think I'm gonna try these Edelbrock/ROL gaskets, or at least go look at them at Summit this weekend.

Ok, I finally had a few minutes to run in Summit and check out the Edelbrock/ROL #7325 head gaskets. 4.45 bore, .038 thick, steel core laminate, and they are white in color. The guy at Summit said they look like good quality and that construction should be good for 12 to 1 plus.

I would have bought them if I hadn't already special ordered some new copper gaskets.

Aren't the white ones the ones Andy put a picture of in his book...that don't fit the dowels correctly?

Not that it's a big deal to take care of, it just seems rather odd

The guy at Summit told me they were now light blue.Guess he didn't look at them like he said he did.

There have been/is a mix of blue and white gaskets. For a while, you didnt know which ones you may get.

No,that was for a pair.Summit sells the 8519's for $17 and some change each,but Edelbrock should be ashamed of themselves.

What??? I had them bring a set of Edelbrock's to the counter to look at and they were the white steel core laminate's.

Were your 8519's in an Edelbrock package?

YES!! Evidently Edelbrock is using Fel Pro as their supplier now.Not really a big deal as my combo is mild... only 9.2 compression.

Now Summit went above board on this as they refunded the difference between the price of the Eddy gaskets and what they sell the 8519's for and said to keep the "Edelbrock" gaskets,and I didn't ask them to do that.

I'll say it again:

Quote: "There have been/is a mix of blue and white gaskets. For a while, you didnt know which ones you may get".

Same went for Ebrock, When supplies got limited, they went with Fel pros.Could have gotten either.

ROL is not a very consistent company to deal with . I explained it all early on, that they are a very " in flux" company right now.
