Can't find head gaskets
 

Where should I get a set of headgaskets? GM parts direct has the part number #12553160headgasket, WItch is what im looking to get but says the shiping could take a few weeks, Summit says est. shiping is 5/3/10.

Im ready to put my motor back together but I don't have any headgaskets! any ideas on where I should order them? I checked local parts stores and all they have is fel-pro basic stock replacements.

What kind of compression or headgasket thinkness you looking for?

.028 and stock bore

i heard something about the Victor reinz 5898? but that seems to be a bigger bore and I can't seem to find a place to buy it either.

These are .026 thick should work just fine.

Victor Reinz 5898 is the Impala gasket. It will work on standard bore fine, and larger.

I believe Autozone sells Fel Pro head gaskets.

I thought fel pros are .039? I know the 1074s are

you gotta be kidding me MRG5716 Not in stock. won't let me order them

Any other places guys? this is frustrating

If you are doing this for a boost in compression you aren't going to notice any power difference whatsoever between a .039 and .028 gasket.

motor is apart, new cam, valvetrain and so forth, im bumping the compression too, but lets not turn this into a who what why thread, Just need to find the gasket.

Just saying if you need gaskets then a .039 will do what you need to reach your power goals just fine.

bump anyone? one of 2 things holding me back from putting my motor together
