i no this has been posted b4 but what do peeps think ..felpro or ford ,it seems to be a mix of for and against, alot of peeps do use the 1.9 felpro for big bhp but then thers others using standard ford gasket with big psi, iv had both on and not to sure what to put on this time round..

thanks

ford all the way

 

Standard Ford for me as well

 

And me, well, Payen actually, same thing

 

Felpro are shit

 

Agreed, My Felpro failed and was very dissappointed in it. Now have a genuine Ford one and it's so far been good as gold despite the odd bit of abuse the car gets

 

on my xr2tt had over 5 felpro's fail into a water ways,

all on a fresh skimmed head, non strencth bolts, and 10-15 psi boost. on 9.6:1 c/r

and since went to std ford rs h/g and done over a years work, 18 k miles and upto 17psi, and not a problem on 9.3:1 c/r.

but you cant use std rs h/g on a 1.8/1.9 cvh i dont think cos of the bore size.

 

 

thats a melted head, not down to the head gasket, down to a bad fuelin and spark

 

That is down to errosion of the head, and is not melted where the combustion process takes place which indicates it was NOT fueling or spark related...

 

Ford all day and night

 

doesnt look anything wrong with the fuelling on eil132's head there to me

ford gasket is the one to use

 

felpro are crap.

ford all the way.

 

Head gasket failed between cumbustion chambers

 

Felpro's are made for the american tall block, 1900cc and not the 1600cc..

 

Cometic

 

FORD Anyone who uses other for a 1600cc turbo is a FOOL

 

I have thrown 32psi at a Payen (Ford) Gasket. I wouldn't use anything else.
