Fel-Pro maiden voyage
We are on live about to open a pair of Fel-Pro hg's. the customer supplied them and said he would be the test subject. I said they are the only set I would even consider doing if not doing Ford blues. I guess time will tell if they are up to par.

subscribe--If I needed some I'd be a guinea pig too. I just can't see Fel-Pro putting out an inferior product--but then again as you say time will tell.

All I am gonna say is in all the years I have made my living turning wrenches I have never had reason to complain about FelPreo. At one time or another I have found something FelPro in every Full gasket set from every auto maker.

In my many years, more than I care to count, I've never had a defective Felpro product.

O'Rileys is stocking them for $59.99 each. Quite a cost savings if they prove out. Really hoping the work well. good Luck!

The main thing that I'm saying is that if I didn't use OEM, Felpro would be my next choice.

Bad design. There is now an updated Print-o-Seal intake gasket with a metal core.
They still offer the old style which is prone to breakdown. And they have the original embossed style that works extremely well.

Well, there's debate to what FE actually stands for. Ford-Edsel is one of the most common.
