Any thoughts on using MLS head gaskets with
alum heads. Found the Stang had a head gasket small leak last week. Sprayed 150 shot from the hole and noticed some coolant blow back into the overflow. Had an idea they were blown but only showed up at high RPMs. Tune is good so I don't expect to burn thru any pistons soon. Anyone had good/bad experience with them. Thanks

i ran a set of mls gaskets with my afr 165s for a couple years and on two different motors (same heads, same gaskets). when the heads came off the second time they still showed no sign of damage from the gaskets. i wouldn't hesitate to run mls gaskets with the next set of aluminum heads
fwiw, i ran head studs the whole time which give a more even clamping force then head bolts. doubt that makes a difference but thought id mention it
