MLS head gaskets


im told these are the best gaskets short of lockwire gaskets. i found a bunch of them on summit but they seriously expensive.

these felpro's go for $80 EACH

then i find these from Ford racing for $75 a PAIR

is this too good to be true? anyone using them?

People running mid 5s in the 1/8 mile (roughly high 8s or a little faster) re-use those head-gaskets. Worth the money IMO. Great for Nitrous or Boost.

I'm running cheaper procomp mls gaskets. Small Block Ford 289 302 351W SBF MLS Multi Layer Steel Head Gaskets Heads | eBay Though I'm sure they could screw a gasket up too, lol. MLS for the win buddy! Some people reuse, but I wouldn't unless it was a tear down frequently kind of thing. But I'd rather keep my junk together for a long time and buy new ones when it comes time to rebuild.
