Intake gasket help please

[Power Surge]

Okay, now I am more confused.... Low riser has bigger ports than Medium Riser? MR are listed as 1.40 x 2.10 and Low Riser are listed as 1.46 x 2.40.

My Blue Thunder MR intake has the smaller ports, but my 390 heads have the larger ports (mismatch is okay since it's smaller feeding to larger).

The gasket I had on there was FelPro 90145. They are the blue steel core Permatorques. I assume this is the same as the VR NitroSeals?

I will try the Nitroseals, but I obvously need the LR version for my big port heads.

Hmm, this sucks. All the local Napas said they no longer carry Victor, and the local Car Quests would have to special order them. So much for getting the car done for the weekend .

Do the NitroSeals have the silicone beads around the ports like the PrintOSeals? Or are they just steel core regular style gaskets? If so, I'd just use another set of PermaTorques.

A Graphite facing material that is clinched to a perforated steel core, this offers superior heat resistance of up to 1,800°F while also maintaining excellent conformability. Found in head gasket, intake gasket and exhaust manifold applications, it can take the heat of a high performing engine

Morgan,

My apologies!

I mis-typed in my message above. I said Nitroseal when it was actually Printoseal

I have edited that message.

I was trying to help a friend with a cackle car and must have had nitro on the brain...

Sorry,

Tom
