Re: IML: Imperial 413 Engine gaskets



I'd have the heads resurfaced and also rebuilt with hardened valves and valve seats. Felpro Gasket sets are still available and good quality. Head gaskets have installation instructions which must be followed to prevent failure.

Valve cover gaskets are available any way you want them. With cork, I use modern sealer on the valve cover side (after thorough cleaning of the valve cover) to hold them in. On installation, I tighten the bolts in an alternating pattern with the proper amount of torque. I think the spec is 10 or 15 pounds. Over tightening will ruin the gaskets and break the seal.

Can someone weigth in on sourcres for good 59 413 engine gaskets that are close to the original gaskets, cork etc. Also which gaskets should one use gasket sealer with? I have heard many different opinions on that topic.

In a previous email I mentioned that there was water in  my oil. It turns out that the heads were very slightly warped. so I am assuming that water escaped around the gasket without

actually damaging the head gasket.
