MLS Gaskets

junkyardhero said

a point to consider is how the car is going to be used.

for a race car that sees teardowns frequently, it's fine because that is almost expected and goes part and parcel with that type of activity.

but a daily driver or a road trip machine? what's the gamble worth if you lose a gasket in BFE over a holiday weekend?

I hear ya!
After the second cam failure i am getting tired of pulling and repair!! hence the roller.
I am not willing to gamble with a flat tappet cam again.
I guess i could look into maching the quench pad on the piston down and use a 1008 gasket, but i suspect that would be even more than buying nee gaskets.
Btw, it is in a truck, and i do road trips twice a year up (snow bird) and down the east coast sometimes pulling a camper
