1989 Ford Mustang - Project Real Street Part 11: Engine And Suspension Improvements - Rekindling the Flame
|
Constructed back in 2001 (!), our D.S.S. Super Pro Bullet short-block was built before multilayer-steel head gaskets were all the rage. So the stock block was O-ringed to help contain the head gaskets in the face of forced induction. As such, we need to go with a good traditional head gasket to work with the O-rings, and our pal Joe Charles at Parkway Ford set us up with a set of Ford Racing Performance Parts head gaskets, as well as the associated gaskets to put the engine back together. After tearing down the engine and cleaning the deck surface, Mark laid the new head gaskets over our ARP studs. View Related Article
