I am in the process of bolting together a 427 with Edlebrock heads. In fact almost complete. We used Fel Pro head gaskets with S.S. fire ring. Feeling good. Then I read this on FordMuscle.com, from theire Project FE build article.
"Fel Pro head gaskets will mate the block to the head. Remember to use a head gasket with a copper fire ring when using aluminum heads. Steel or iron fire rings wont compress enough and cause sealing problems".
Is this indeed the case. Have we made a mistake by installing gaskets with steel fire rings?
thanks,
Morgan
