can i use a cometic head gasket with a fire wire on an o-ringed block, or do i need to run an oem hg?

 

you need the regular mls gasket, without the o-ring in the gasket, you can't use the one with the o-ring or fire ring in it

 

Thought you had to run a copper w/o-ringed block ?

 

any golden eagle block o- ringed or not cannot use that gasket...They are step decked and the head will not sit flat against the block. it will not seal and mix coolant.

I wouldnt use that gasket on any step decked or oringed block..its goinng to **** **** up

thanks guys goiong with a titan now

 

actually i think i am gonna pass on the o-ringing of the block and try out the cometic hg. hope it holds

 

Make sure you use the Cometic HP gasket, I blow out the regular Cometic MLS gasket in a month, but the HP version will last a couple of years.

If your block is step decked DO NOT RUN THAT GASKET...I ran a regular cometic on a step decked golden eagle block and it held fine on 20 psi daily with an sc61...
tourque it to 79 ft lbs and your golden (80 ft lbs with orings)

 

its not stepped decked what do you recommed on trq? with hp cometic hg fire wire
