intake gaskets

Since I pulled my intake and found the gaskets sucked into the ports again, wondering if I can still get those ford white bad ass ones or can some one suggest a good intake gasket that wont fail?

Thanks!

which one you need the 1230 or 1231

Cobra Jet or Regular size port...?

If it is regular port I have 2 sets of 1230 they are black with the red seal around ports and water jackets plus a set from a victor I will sell for cheap I have out of gasket kits I have ordered.

I put a thin layer of silicone on both sides of my gaskets and have never had one fail since doing this. The regular port gaskets barely cover the hole if either the intake or heads are CJ ports. I always run a CJ gasket on my Dove heads too.

Yep , I agree . Make sure they fit and glue em on.

VictorReinz nitro seal 95074SG for CJ have worked for me, i had nil luck with the Felpro, same trouble as you. The regular Felpro blue for small port. VR also do a small port but i'd have to check the part #

cj port, where do you get the victor reinz? nitro seals??

I had to order mine from a Carquest store, all of the other parts stores around here quit handling Victor gaskets.

cometics, never get sucked in or blown out again............

Damn it! I would divorce her....Sorry,couldn't help it.

If they are sucking in the port,something is wrong somewhere. I never have had a intake gasket to fail. I just silicone a thin layer around the wj and lay them on.A even torque the right way is very important.

208A Mr Gasket is all I use, they seal, never leak. I have put 20 lbs of boost through them without failure, and 11 lbs regularly. Just the cost of lost fluids alone makes you want to do it right one time only, I'd suggest you check these out.

Get mine from Carquest also

1231S3 felpro steel reinforced is the best cj gasket I have found, You could reuse it if your in a bind. Most part stores don't keep them but napa can order them direct and have them in a couple days. I use a lot of them, all ford industrial engines used the cj manifold clear up untill the mid 90's on a standard port head for some reason.

YES ... that is the gasket I prefer to use. Some customers will just refuse to pay what they cost and then I use the 208A Mr. Gasket.
