    I am not an engine guru and have a noob question here. Which type of gasket is best to use in different situations?

    I am selling an engine and need to remount the heads. It had the blueish Felpro gaskets. I also have a set of the steel? ones.

    The steel shim gaskets can't be used with later blocks that have the oval water jacket ports on the block.
