Fel-Pro engine gasket set 260-1650

Thank you. I will check the thickness

I will call Fel pro in the morning. They don’t list the thickness in the product description.

Is the stock gasket number a gm part #?

Would using Mr.gasket at.026 cause any issues? So far this is only one available. Will check others next.

You were right about the gel pro gaskets

I used them in my alloy head LT1 with no issue.
The factory gaskets seem to be available from Ebay sellers

I was only able to find one available on eBay

And why do we care ? .010 difference in these cars is roughly .25 points difference , so imagine putting the .050 F-Y body gasket in place of the .029 B body , you'd lose 1/2 a point!!

Going higher on the thickness would mean less compression. The thing I don’t know is if I go with a thinner gasket would there be any clearance issues? Going from .029 to .026.

Obviously I am not an engine builder I was hoping to get all the right parts together so when I go to do the job which is a reseal on a stock motor with 80,000 miles. Just looking to get all the parts in the party starts I don’t have to go running around in search of. Any other suggestions on that mileage that would be good to address would be appreciated. From what I understand the valve springs are too good. Any recommendations in that department or anything else would be greatly appreciated thank you all.

No worries, this has been done multiple times since the early 2000s by numerous bygone ISSF elders with no concerns or issues raised.
Works.

Mr Gasket 5716G head gasket .026. Has anybody tried this one? So far is the closest I can find.

The vast majority of ISSF posts prior to Aug of 2009 are not easily searchable.
That does not change the fact that the answer to your question about the Mr Gasket head gasket is

It's been recommended and tried scores of times, meeting or exceeding expectations each time.
I know it's not as good as links to past threads testifying to that effect ...

I ended up ordering Mr. gasket head gaskets. And the felpro set for the rest. Thank you for the reply
