Which Gaskets Will Work?

ghostrider05 · January 3rd, 2012, 12:36 PM

I have a pair of older O-ringed styled twisted wedge heads that had to be milled 12 thousandths, making them smooth with no more O-rings. What gaskets do I need for the install now? Thanks in advance for the inputs.

Go on trick flows web page. They should have a recommended gasket listed. Im thinking just a standard gasket would be fine

Thanks! I actually got the info I needed from trick flow. It's going to be a Felpro 1011-2. Thanks again!

Another question... since these heads have been milled, is the compression ratio going to change much? Thanks again fellas.

Depends on how much was taken off, but most likely not enough to matter.

They were only milled .012
so, prob not enough to matter then?

Nope, not enough to matter.
