Thanks!

I just pulled my W-5 junk heads off today.. but
I will be needing a few sets of W-2.. I hope
Mancini's has them in stock

Greg is the man when it comes to gaskets.

Rod

Yep... Mancini's sells his stuff... I have to call
tomorrow for at least 2 sets of W2s now.. and a couple
more sets for the shelf

Well after trying to order and get the right gaskets for my 360-1 heads and them all being made wrong by Cometics I lucked out and picked up a set off of Tim Bowman from Indy. They are the right ones so if Superformance ever starts making them please let us know

Well I'm out of stock on the W-2's currently and back ordered Mancini their last shipment so you may have to try one of my other Distributors.


Thanks Rod

Thanks for the heads up... are dist on your site

The 360-1's & -2's are in line and I'll make sure they are right before they go out the door here.
We don't overlook the small things like..... the gasket actually fitting the application

Yes sir

With the exception of Glendora Dodge

I apologize I haven't looked at your catalog. I did however order some of your W2 gaskets from Mancini a few weeks ago and WOW very nice. However my ports were a little bigger than the gasket and when trimming them I messed up and cut one of them. I was pissed and had to fall back on the old paper Mopar gaskets I had. Do you make a W2 gasket with a little larger port?

I just got notification from Mancini that they are shipping my back ordered gaskets that I got for a spare set for drag week.

Gen III stuff the future Greg?

What happen !?

It smoked a little out the right side exhaust..
every time I have had those heads on it smokes
a little.. I thought I had it fixed(a hole in the
intake runner).. it was just super thin where I
clearanced the push rod.. I tubed that but there
must be something else

Thanks for the order and the nice compliment
Sorry to hear you cut one of them. If you have a die grinder and some 80 grit cartridge rolls they work great for removing material when custom sizing ports. Just regulate the air and slow it down

I plan to make the W-2 Oval and 340/360 rectangle port gaskets using the MicroPore-15 material in the near future so if you think that material was good wait till you get your hands on the new ones!

What port width and height are your W-2's? I'm open to making them a little bit larger

Yes, just need to find time to research them out.
I have a couple samples here that are so bad it's a wonder their even sold to the public!

I will measure next time the intake is off, which hopefully isn't for awhile lol.

Cometics gaskets should be right now, I sent them one of my Indy gaskets back in the spring. The ones they sent back with my Indy gasket were perfect, the first two sets I ordered from FBO not so much.

And you pressure tested them ???

No.. just a visual... my error... and I normally
would do that on everybody elses stuff.. I just
got in a hurry I guess

Right on well hope your up and running. Soon

Pressure testing them is good for water issues, not oil issues. From what I've read the W5's are porous to start with then we add porting. It could be leaking from a valve spring pocket, bolt hole, pushrod pinch, or about any where else oil is close to.

The one thing that I know is its getting oil into
the cyl.. so if I were to leak check the intake
system It should show up.. have to have a plate on
the head mounting surface another on the intake surface
then pressurize it and maybe spray it with soapy water
to look for air... but I think I would have to use clamps
and not bolt for the head plate to watch the bolt holes..
dont really care right now.. I just want it on the street
and running clean.. and strong

OK..... where are all these W-5 users at??

I post about other new products and hear "when are you going to make gaskets for W-5's"
I make the W-5 gaskets and all I hear is W-2 and GEN-III

I am REALLY surprised that you hopped on this train. Most of the guys I know that ran W5's moved on.

I have one VIRGIN blue plug head sitting here the I bought for 250 dollars just in case I find another one 5-7 years ago. I kinda gave up looking.

I was reluctant to jump on board, however......

Maybe I need to up the price 10 bucks a set

considering I messaged you concerning W8 intake gaskets awhile back.... I find it hard to believe you went this route. I know the guy that bought one of my top ends is starting to assemble, so I'll let him know. W5 isn't even a good place to be from in my experience.

If I ever find a virgin blue plug I will tread carefully in known water areas, sonic check often, and weld up other areas for needed volume space. I will also pour the water passages with (WaterGlass) to address porosity issues

"weld"..... good luck with that.

Weld before porting, not after. Lol

I've had W-5 in my ear way more times than W-8. I'm a big block guy and don't know what the popular SB heads are or what gasket can fit multiple heads?
I appreciate you dropping a line to the W-5 user

Are the SB Victors their own animal also or will a 360-1 or some other have the same pattern?

I do good just to get stuff cut, inspected, packaged, shipped out the door and keeping track of invoicing. Won't even mention the million other things that come into play running a business

Someone was looking for you in the question and answer section. I gave them your contact info.

Much appreciated pittsburghracer
