not bike... graphite head gasket?

[mbrood]

I have a 93 Cougar v-6 needing a new head gasket, I'm an old scholl kid so when I see a kit with graphic head gaskets at the parts store I back off real slow...

 

Like I said, I have no familiarity but always thought a good ole metal head gasket sealed well but also REALLY helped transfer that heat. And I still say aluminum heads are junk!

 

Anyone have some real info on this variant?

 

I know Ford offers the metal ones but they want my next born for them... but if that's the proper route...

Personally I would think (or at least hope) you would have less problems with a factory part like that. I would go OEM for a head gasket.

 

Did you get a crack in the heads ? Not sure if Ford's V6 had those issues, but good luck.
