Vacume sealed gasket BS!!! How bad is this?
Ok so I pulled my Mr. Gasket 5716G's out of the Vac sealed package and this is what happened. As I remove the top layer of plastic some of the coating comes off. I also removed the Felpro 1284 intake gaskets and a part of the silicone port seal comes off on the again vac sealed plastic. I didn't think much of the head gaskets untill It did it on the felpro intake gaskets so the head gaskets are already on with the heads torqued down. I knew I should have takin pics of the head gaskets and called them but I really wanted to get the intake on so I could see what needed to be fixed on it to keep it from leaking oil into the runners. What do you think? Am I Fubard yet again? will the intake gasket leak like that? What about those head gaskets? Here are pics of what I found.
This is the top plastic covering that was on the head gaskets. Mr Gasket only sells them individually now so both had the same problem.

Have you read the posts about putting them in the freezer before taking them out of the package? I know you shouldn't have to, but some say that is a solution.

omg this is getting old. Maybe this is why the head gasket failed the last time lol. this is pure ******* retardedness. I really appreciate the info guys. I had never heard of putting them in the freezer untill today. I don't know how I missed those threads in the past. OK then so I am tearing it back down then LOL. zubda budapa mudfudafa rudafudafua blahdapaist!!!! Well since they are on there I am fixing this MF intake before I tear it back down so I can at least get some freakin use out of these damn things.

So is there a different or better gasket option then the Mr. Gasket 5716G? I understand now that I may have to freeze the stupid things but is there one that I can actually just take out of the package and not have to worry about it being falty out of the package?

Those are the worst head gaskets i have ever seen. Please dont waste your time installing those. Get the Felpro 1074 and use the copper seal for the heads, and buy a set of there intake set as well, its like 24 bucks. Take those back and re invest in something that will work not leak.

dude I feel for you... first the shitty lpp header leak and now this.
if it makes you feel any better I think mine is still leaking. going to test and remove the passenger side header soon to confirm once and for all.
hope you get all these gaskets and intake leak sorted out

I'm having a problem here. These fel pro 1074's use a large bore opening at 4.125 and a compressed thickness of .039 V's the mr. gaskets it was set up with at 4.100 bore and a compressed thikness of .026. I have been over my numbers and one of the things that is killing me is the fact that the freakin pistons in this thing are forged -16cc. They are blower pistons. I know right a blower piston in a freakin cast crank rotating kit. Nice one eagle. Anyway I am N/A so I am going to drop from about 10.91 to 1 compression ratio down to 10.24 to 1 if I use those gaskets. Only other gaskets I found are the ones Gregrob posted up but I have no idea if I am just gonna have the same issues with those, and these at summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FOG-903334060/

They have a strange note that I don't understand as well it says O-ring of the block or heads is required????? WTF is that?
