Felpro Marine Head Gasket 17059 - 07/20/13 01:44 AM

I've read on here how some like using the 17059 marine head gaskets. Just curious if anyone has successfully ran them with 13-1+ compression ratio with aluminum heads? Was going to run 1009s but cursed with the fire ring hanging over the cylinder a bit on my 4.375 bores. I have a set of felpro 1105s on the shelf but looks like it will cut comp ratio by about a half point with their 4.590 bores and .051 thickness. Thanks

I run them on my 440 with 12.5.Has Stealth heads and the 09s hung over.Mine have been on 4 or 5 years.Street driven and no problems.The cheaper FelPros didnt over hang.But I didnt feel comfortable with them.So my machinist ordered the marines.Ill get another set if and when I replace them.Rocky
