MLS head gaskets....?

November 19, 2015, 12:02:00 AM

I'm in the process of replacing the head gaskets on my '85. It has the 3.8L V6. I was told by some guys here on the forum that I should go with Multi-Layer-Steel head gaskets. Where do I find these? Are they something I can get at an auto parts store? I'm going to be needing them in a few days when my heads get back from the machine shop. Any recommendations or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'd ask the machine shop which gaskets to run personally. You should also technically rough up the block surface to match the head gasket surface. 3.8's are pretty touchy and known for blowing gaskets.

Autozone or Napa usually has a complete felpro line available, it says if they are mls gaskets in the kit info.
