if anybody is, they are an idiot. that gasket is way too big. usually i like to go .060 -.080 larger than the cylinder bore on the gasket bore.

Okay, I just found out my chambers have been opened to 4.00, and that is why AFR uses the the larger bore gasket. So with that in mind is any one using these gaskets? I searched and found one guy a few years ago, saying his were leaking and had to re torqued 3 times?

I originally bought that one because I couldn't find the Cometic 4.130 @ .04 but then I found out the Fel-Pro is really only good for NA and not FI or Nitrous. The guy that helped me with my head at swap said he had a Fel-Pro blow out and also advised against using it ... so I had Summit order the Cometic.
