3900 LIM gaskets.

Post by ericjon262 »

Crappy pictures, but stay away from fel pro gaskets for the V6 engines, all of them I have seen are crap compared to OEM. in this case, the fel pro overhangs the port by a pretty huge margin, where the OEM is significantly larger than the port.

Yea I trimmed out that black rubber part on my 3900 gaskets.

I wasnt sure if factory are reusable so I just got new. Nut also noticed the gasket is way smaller than the port. But its rubber so a razorblade was used to match the gaskets

if the heads were ported or something, that would make sense, but these are bone stock heads.
