Reply to "Slow water drip"

I personally have had issues with the Cometic head gaskets but not on the 351c. On a 427 and 347 Fords. The fact that they are $92 each doesn't make them any better.

Others have had issues with Felpro. I stay with the Felpro unless I need a thinner head gasket to maintain compression ratio.

The 427 would drip oil from the driver's side head, rear, in the corner. The 347 water from the same spot. Changed out the Cometic for Felpro and the problems were solved.

It had nothing to do with having not torqued the heads properly...not a greenhorn here. It was the composite design of the gasket itself.

Cometic refunded the money on both sets and said find another manufacturer.

The only issue with the Felpro's is they are thick and only made one way, BUT they don't leak.

(The original post says "dripping water", not oil)
