I need to replace my intake gasket(s). I have heard bad things about the felpro intake gaskets. I heard that they are cork instead of rubber. The only other gasket I can find is Victor gaskets. They do not list a material however.

What gasket should I get and where can I get it? What material also?

Also. I have it torn down right now. I am just thinking is it worth it to take the heads off and replace the head gasket as well?

I usually go by the "if it ain't broke don't fix it rule" but since I am already this far I was wondering whether it was worth the extra cash my own labor to replace the head gasket.

Thanks

 

Can anyone give me some advice on this?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The main thing I need is the upper and lower intake gaskets. Are the Victor gaskets cork or rubber?
