Steel Shim Head Gaskets Ok With Eddys? - 12/07/10 03:14 AM
I was reading some old post where guys where saying it is ok to use the Mopar steel shim gaskets with Eddy heads and others said not to. I am planning on pulling the heads off this winter to shave them a little to bump up the compression on my 440. While I am at it I am considering switching from my current .027" Cometic MLS gaskets to a .020" Mancini steel shim gasket (part# MRE86754; .018"-.020" thick) would get me around a .040" quench height which I believe is ideal?
Is it ok to use the steel shim head gasket with Eddy heads with a light coating of copper coat on both sides of the gasket?
I also see Mopar has a steel shim gasket listed as part# P5155237 which sell for $150/set. They are listed on the Mancini website as having a .020" thickness. Could these be MLS gaskets?
