hey jsut looking for some quick opinions and experinces(comments) on felpro looking to buy one of their headgaskets and intake gaskets and am curious of there anygood and actully measure up to oem standard or better, and if the compare to the oem measurments and specs? bore, thickness etc.


i tried looking on their crap worth wesite and got nothing spec. wise for any of ther gaskets other then a picture and retailers and a bunch of broken links.

to me they suck. i once owned a talon for a very short time and replaced the crappy felpro head gasket 2 times before i sold it. and i put one into my crx and 5 months later it rusted and leaked coolant into the cylinders. i will never use one again.

I've heard from a few people that they're good quality, I've only used the valve cover gaskets from them myself though.

Just stick with OEM Honda gaskets. You can't beat the quality, fit, and reliability.

QFT. They might be a bit more expensive then the other....but on the long road they become cheaper.

I wouldnt go with any other head gasket than a Honda multi-layer-steel one. The Z6 ones are as low as $30US online, and give you about half a point compression bump. I bought a felpro IM gasket and it would have partially blocked the coolant port! I took it back and got a Honda one for $3 more.

ive used a felpro headgasket ... i blew it in a week... might have been my fault but i dont know i agree tho the graphite material is not worth it... i also have purchased a valve cover gasket... i removed the VC to to fix something and the damn gasket wouldnt go back in... it was too big and i dont mean just a little to big.. it was almost like it was for a different car... imho i wont pay for another felpro gasket.. period...
