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

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.

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

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.

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.

Goodnight sweetheart...yes its time to go...bum bum bum bum bum...good night sweetheart yes I am one little a$$hole......bum bum bum bum....
