Are there any difference between the headgaskets on the market?
GM's
Fel-Pro's anyone have a P/N
Cometic
Victor Rentz

 

head gaskets:
gm 12498543
felpro 9284pt

Phill, you can get those from Joey(jtss) on our forum if you want. He deals GM parts for a good price

I went with the GM ones just cause they came on the car.. hahahhaha

 

I've used the victor's and the felpro's a couple of times. I just took a set of victor's off my car this week while swapping heads again, they had only been on there about 2,000 miles and they looked wonderful. I am going with the GM steel shim gaskets this time.

 

Anyone know the compressed height of the gaskets?

Cometic come in a range of C.H. and are reusable but some have had sealing problems.
