Fel-pro 530sd

Post by Jeepinscott »

Anyone know the thickness of it?

Anyone using it?

I ran one on my last motor, but it was a stocker and it held up fine, just need to know how thick.

Dunno but it's what I bought and intend on using with my stroker.

Used it on a turbo 4.0L and its nothing special, just a stock style gasket. Ended up blowing it above 12 psi so we went with Victor Reinz MLS gasket and have been fine up to 16+ psi. With a stroker any style should be fine and I’d focus more on its thickness and how it effects your quench.

One thing to consider is the bore-size if using a standard replacement gasket in "0"-deck setups. There's potential for piston interference with the 3.875" gasket. Looks like the 530SD is spec'd @ 4.00 so you good there. Apparently PseudoSport pushed one pretty far before having any trouble, so I'd feel pretty confident with it! Good Luck with your build :cheers:
