What makes Cometic a better gasket ?
I haven't seen them yet, hear their nice, but what makes Cometic a better gasket ?
Almost twice the cost of others too. |
They are my customer and use our tools to manufacture their gaskets! That makes them a LOT better!
They also own Delkron if you know what they manufacture. |
Your customer,.....cool.
Don't know much about Delkron, other than motorcycle parts. Please tell me about you and Cometic and why their better ? Do you/them make FE tube header gaskets ? I need to know so I can order some gaskets. Ford 428 FE Intake, water pump, timing cover, maybe oil pan (and header if Cometic makes them) from either MAHLE or Cometic. |
Keith Craft use Cometic gaskets. He got me to using them. I've never had one to fail.
Keith had Cometic to make a gaskets for the FE motors. Don't remember if it was the head or intake or both. Several of the guys have them on their FE motors and never had a problem. Fel Pro, different story. Even their best gasket have failed. I don't use anything but Cometic. Yea they are an extra $50 but you don't have to replace them in a couple of years. |
Don't see tube header gaskets ?
|
I have used Felpro on my whole engine and have had the intake gasket fail. I have replaced it with Cometic and have not had a problem with the intake gasket since. I don't know what actually makes it better. I'm knocking on wood as I type this.

As of late, I'm hearing of others who have had issues with Felpro, and raving of 1st, Victor Reinz #MS15166X, but heard it's no longer available. Jay Brown suggests these below.

Another mention is by SCE,.....Accu Seal Pro Intake Gaskets. Accu Seal Pro Intake Gaskets for 390-428ci Ford FE; 234103 | | SCE Gaskets I'm looking for intake, timing cover, water pump etc, to finish my 428FE build, so that's why I posted these links and info. |
