head gasket

[steveinaz]

Is the Fel-pro head gasket #9332pt for our trucks any good?

I've used Fel-Pro gaskets on gas powered engines before and worked fine. I prefer to use OEM gaskets on diesels. If it were my truck, I'd stick with OEM from Cummins. I think the marine version handles more boost than the stock one. Especially if you plan on more BOMBing than what you already have, that is the way I would go.

Does anyone have the cummins part # handy for the updated head gasket? The one that's not supposed to leak at the t-stat.

I would only use a Cummins head gasket!



Std size=3283335

. 010" over=3283337

. 020" over=3283339

Ditto on the OEM. This is one case where "stock" is about the best there is. And they dont cost that much more. Sometime last summer, someone posted a comparison of Felpro vs Cummins, and the Cummins looked a lot sturdier; had wider, thicker non-metal, gaskety areas. (once you pull the head, you'll know what I'm talking about). Felpro is fine for VC and timing cover gaskets, but for the head, go with Cummins.



Mark, is it . 10" or . 010" over?

Sorry Daniel, Yes . 010" and . 020"

is the oversize refering to the bore or thickness?

 

[bmoeller]

Thickness.
