If you are blowing FELPRO's then something is wrong with your engine.

Something is wrong unless you see a defect upon disassembly.

running aluminum heads you need to re-torque have warming the the engine and letting it cool, had the same issues on a race car, I run felpro's, I coat them heavaly with aluminum VHT header paint install wet run cool re-touque, no more more issues, Rob
