Head Gasket Help Needed
I had put the following in another forum but it might be better suited here.
If anyone has any advice on this it would be appreciated.
I have a 239 block # EBV-6015-0 (hard to read)...with CF stamp
heads are # EBV-6090-A
I bought a Fel-Pro gasket set for the 54 239 with the metal head gaskets...
The new gaskets do not have some of the port openings cut out like the old gaskets have....
Should I look into another head gasket set or should I take a dremmel and open up the cut-outs in the new gaskets that corrospond with common openings in the block and head???
Is there a good "no re-torque" head gasket out there?
thanks, Ed

Problem Solved
Info update...I found a local shop that had bought out several older parts shops inventory.
The original gasket is a Fel-Pro 7999PT, this had a blue coating over the metal gasket, The parts shop had a big stack of these 7999 gaskets with a grey coating over the metal. The water ports all match up perfect.
The new gasket in the Fel-Pro kit I have didnt even show up in the books.
Anyone needing a 7999 Fel-Pro head gasket for the Block and Head combo that is mentioned in this post can P.M. me for phone# info on the parts shop.
