Mine are leaking oil.
That means i gotta take my engine apart agian.

FelPro or AC Delco, hoss. AZ has Felpro.

Definitely, i hope i can wait till the summer to change them. looks like i'll be adding oil in between oil changes. :?

I'll probably be doing the headers at the same time and possibly getting si stainless exhaust valves. (i only had enought 4 for the intake valves last time)

BTW, Don and I suspect that FelPro makes the Delco stuff. Just like NGK makes the plugs and O2'*.

I think I can back that up. I utilize the local AC Delco supplier a lot and for when I've needed gaskets he'* always given me Felpro.

I thought you guys said the FelPro'* head gaskets are prone to leaking? That'* why I am paying an arm and a leg for the GM ****..

FelPro is the same price as OEM gaskets if you use www.gmpartsdirect.com, and I don't recall ever saying they leak.....unless it was with regards to the LOWER lower intake seals, and yes, FelPro'* used to leak there, but so did OEM before they were redesigned, probably by felpro.

That particular area (the gasket that goes between the block ends and LIM) is a non-pressure leak, but slightly annoying.

No probs now.

So, I could get the Fel-Pro overhaul gasket set and have the same performance as the GM stuff?

We suspect. Don't buy it yet. I just ordered a set (mine'* torn down too), and I'll compare them to my OEM'ers.

How long until you have some answers. I don't mean to be rude, but I am really starting to push to get all my parts here, and get the engine back together; and of course the Overhaul Gasket set is the first step to that.
