The felpro and the Mopar HGs are essentially the same MLS steel setup. i've had good luck with both of them.

I've had no problems with Felpro.

ok, thanks for replies, i buy a FEL-PRO, lol!!

Be sure your head is flat and your head studs/bolts (whichever you used) are good. You should have planed the head on the rebuild, correct?

Also, It is a good idea to trim one thread off the rear drivers side headbolt as they have a tendancy to bottom out and leak oil from that spot.

its actually 3 treads off the bolt, or switch to ARP studs

Yeah, you're right. But the ARP's are obviously the better option!

Just go ARP - make you life a lot easier

PER the TSB, you do not need to trim the bolts with the MLS. the MLS is not a shrinking gasket like the composites. It was only 1 thread off by the way.

BUMP!!!!!!

I don't bought the Fel-Pro, i bought the cheap HG one more time, but the turbo time is soon, so i need change my HG, i want buy the Mopar MLS, but, the torque of the bolts is in the same order and lbs on the installation for the MLS?

I thought so.

I was about to shit because i just put a 95 shortblock in and the engine is all buttoned up, motor mounts too.

I used a cheap mls headgasket from parts dinosaur. Rol mfg i believe.... Headbolts were of the same origin. I know i didn't pay but $100ish bucks for those and a timing belt. I think i got something else too but i can't remember. I ordered that stuff almost a year ago.
