The reason I ask is because i just bought a Fel Pro intake manifold gasket cause i couldnt get an OEM one at the time. The FelPro was very shitty in quality, thin and flimsy. The OEM one is a very firm material. Should i be okay with this?

 

its just a intake manifold gasket........it should be fine......

if it were a headgasket then i would be weary about using cheaper aftermarket stuff......

i use felpro valve cover, oil pan and intake gaskets all the time......no problems here.....

 

See thats what i figured, but it made me kinda leary seeing the thin *** material.

 

like non vtec said, the important things i would go oem, the non important things its ok to use felpro

 

Kinda OT but would you change out the crank seals if it only had 3 miles on it? I broke some **** and i gotta rebuilt and the seals are practically brand new still.

 

Fel pro head gaskets actually seal better cuz they're not metal, but they don't handle boost very well and take forever to scrape off. I'm running the full fel pro gasket set except for the cometic head/ hondata intake manifold/str cam seal.

I'm too sure how the lifespan of a FelPro gasket, but the fitment is pretty good.
