Default Blower Head Gaskets

Have very well maintained HP500 has 200 hours ,at 150 hours heads were trued, all rebuilt,valve springs and retainers were changed etc.
Used Fel-pro 17048 head gaskets !
If i put a blower on with 5-6 psi ,do i need to change head gaskets again?

Thanks

No, you will be fine. Just keep an eye on the water pressure. Don't let it get much above 25 psi. Cometics would be a better choice, but in your case the Fel Pro's will work just fine.

I used Felpro Marine head gaskets on my 525SC with almost 8# of boost and they were fine.
