    Felpro Permatorque Severe duty head gaskets

    its a 2bbl 305 with iron heads. I didnt check them for cracks, I could see where the old head gasket failed and where the previous owner had used the head gasket sealer quick fix it bottle and it sealed for a while, so I was assuming it wasnt cracked.

    Felpro Permatorque Severe duty head gaskets?

    Anybody ever use these? Any long term opinions? They seem pretty cool, like they would work good for an older engine that just needed head gaskets thanks
