Default Any real world setups with SCE Titan self sealing gaskets - NOT ICS

Looking to hear some feedback on the SCE titan Self sealing gaskets. I've heard problems with the ICS gaskets but not really much on the standard titans themselves.

I have SCE ICS's and will NEVER buy another set! I have had 3 sets on my car and all have leaked! I am installing Felpro MLS's this weekend. I found the first set leaked around the water passages where the print o seal was not centered around the hole. I talked with them and there sollution was to retool and send me another set,it has been 1.5 months and nothing!

We are going to set the motor up with an MLS gasket and an O-ring. I have talked to alot of people and its been proven on HIGH hp setups. Question is how much will it hold in the LS1 world. I'll run:

Cometic or Fel pro gasket; I plan on trying both
.040 copper o-ring
1/2" main head studs
3/8" supplement head studs
LSx block

I run the same setup with the MLS gasket we have had no issues up to 35 psi so far.

1 run on the dyno, 850rwhp, 12 psi and two blown titan ICS gaskets...... Pretty short experience. installation directions followed to a T.

cometic or GM MLS work best

Surely you are joking ????

Nobody in their right mind would replace and use the same gaskets 32 times.

And if that many did leak, its highly unlikely it was the gaskets fault, cos ya aint going to get that many faulty ones !!!

I've been running them for about a year now. No issues and I re-used them when I upgraded to AFR's. Instead of using copper spray on them, this time I used Indian Head on them. The copper spray seemed to ooze out over time.
