We have a 499 Indy head engine.On the Head gaskets what is the prefer head gasket. We notice on the Felpro 1009 gasket the water jacket bottom 2 center holes are not cut out on that gasket will this be a problem. I have seen most everybody says use this gasket.

I had problems with that gasket on my 505. Never really figured out why but trashed them and have run Cometics ever since. Zero issues since.

What kind of compression did you have also was your street or strip . Mind is Drag race only with around 14.1 comp. 10.6:1

One of the question I am asking is about the 2 coolet holes that are block by that gasket will that be a problem.I do know the copper gasket the coolet holes where all open. Think the holes your talking about are blank on the Indy heads.
