Im ordering a new set of fel-pro head gaskets. When placing the order it asks for quantity. I obviously want 2 of them, but my question is, are both sides the same exact gasket(shape and fit) I know this probably sounds like a stupid question.

Black Snake

Yes

Yes, but there is a front and back so look at them close when you put them on

RawGtPower

Also, I cant seem to find head studs for the afr 165's. AFR recommends studs for these heads, but i cant seem to find studs for the 7/16 threads. Anyone know of a part number, or where i can get these?

Summit has them or I got mine (ARP) off ebay new.

Will these studs work with my setup. I found them on summit. Also should I put permatex sealer on the studs when installing?

Check to make sure this part fits your application

Those sound like the ones I bought. ...and yes, use loctite when you screw in the studs, but not on the bolts once the heads are on. I'm not questioning your intelligence, just making sure you knew that.[sm=smiley36.gif]

EDIT: How much are they on summit? I think mine were $76 shipped off ebay....

RawGtPower

They're $104

I used athe arp studs for stock heads, it worked fine for my AFR 185 heads, and make wure you use thread sealer on the lower studs.
there is not really a need for locktite though.
