Can anybody Post a part number for Fel-Pro Perma Torque head gaskets for the 276-291 DeSoto Hemi? Or for that matter, ANY Fel-Pro head gasket part number, for the same engine(s)? Be DAMNED if I can find anything on the Web!...
all i could find was the full set number for fel-pro #fs7672s.best gasket #734g for the head gasket only. hope that helps.
Of all the DeSotos i have ever messed with i have NEVER came accross a Perma Torque DeSoto Gasket. You are taking of the BLUE ones, Yes ? I Have a Fel Pro # 7672 & a Victor # 1108, But they arent the Blue ones. They are Both Metel on both sides with Composit centers.
Good question! I blew two sets of head gaskets before I realized I was using the wrong ones. Apparently I had the smaller 276-291 gaskets. My bore is 3.84". This put the seal ring into the bore far enough that it wouldn't seal. I even tore the motor down and had it decked again thinking it was a rough deck surface. Turns out the gaskets were too small. Another thing to think of, if you're going with stiffer valve springs, get your rocker arms magged. The first time I fired it up a piece of rocker arm went flying across the room. It was obvious that it was cracked for a long time. Bill
