I have a vortec gmpp crate motor that had an oil leak on the back of the intake manifold. I bought the fel pro 1255 gasket however when took it off it had a newer style gm gasket. after researching online I have gotten mixed reviews as to which style is better so thought i would ask and see if you guy have experiance with this?

I used the Fel Pro 1255 when I had the vortec top end on my dragster (which I sold I think to Whip).

Cool I ended up getting the 1255 so hopefully it works well for me too. Thanks for the input guys.
