Last headgasket question ?

[amceaglesx4]

Finally my 4.7 is in and now just need the headgasket. Hopefully the Gods here will answer. So.... what I picked up is a Fel pro 36761 which according to the parts guy is a 43-51 thou head gasket with a 3.998 bore opening. Will this work for me ? Its not the Mopar p4529242 or the Victor Renix 54249. Am I okay with this ? They also had a felpro 26211 and another part number ( 9076 PT-1 ) which was a 40 thou. I literally have everything togather and the head, intake, carb, and exhaust manifold hanging on the cherry over the engine. I just need the gasket now. Super excited !!! Thanks

Is it a MLS gasket?

[amceaglesx4]

Not sure what that means friend. there is metal in the gasket material that I can see. The head is a 95 7120 and a 99 block.

Shit !!! This gasket doesn't have the triangle water jackets. The block and head do though.

Does it look like this:



If so its a MLS (Multi Layer Steel) Gasket. It compresses to .043"

Shit !!! This gasket doesn't have the triangle water jackets. The block and head do though.

It won't. The triangle ports don't match the head gasket. Only small circles in the head gasket. No gasket has a true match to the triangle holes.

Basically yes besides mine has a thin orange/red silicone small bead. Mine has the mall circle holes. Yea coolant will pass through that lol. m guessing I can use the one I have then ? Is yours 60 over too ?

No metal rivets on mine though.
