Best Gaskets
 
I'm building new motors would Fel-Pro gaskets be the best to use for the oil pan,timing chain cover and intake gaskets or is there something better that don't leak ??

Felpro is a good gasket but it depends what intake you use. I use edelbrock aluminum intakes so I use Edelbrock intake gaskets. Seals better.

i dont use or recomend useing any intake gasket that has the silicone around the port.i like the mr gasket intake manifold gaskets,i put a smear cote of the right stuff on the head and the manifold and never had a problem.the fel pro line of gaskets is also good imo.

Cometic makes a nice intake gasket.

I use Fel Pro MLS for my head gaskets, a Fel Pro 1pc "non crush" oil pan gasket, Mr Gasket intake manifold gaskets, Fel Pro timing cover gasket and Fel Pro exhaust gaskets.

You wouldn't want to run those. MLS cometic or FEL Pro MLS are the head gasket of choice in marine boosted applications.

i agree,big boost alcohol engines require a o ring and a reciever groove,low boost[15 lbs or less]a mls gasket is all you need.i have used fel pro marine gaskets on 1000 hp marine engines in the past,but the mls gaskets are now the way to go.
