I used the PT's once but it looked like they were giving way so I never used them again.

Rocky, What is the difference between the marine and just a regular gasket? I also need a set for a .040 440RB, 10.5 comp, alumn head. Sorry for the hi-jack, but have been wondering the same thing! Thanks!

I too run these at 12.1.1. Not sure of all of the differences but they clear my 4.380 bore where the regular blue would not..........

I run the first Stealth.The others hung in the chambers.The marines cleared fine.They also seem to fit the block better and my machinist said they are a better gasket.I used to run the best FelPros.A lot of guys are running the marine gaskets.Rocky
