Head gasket oil leak . . .
Hi guys. This is my first post and I'm desperate! I have a '68 Mustang with a roller 5.0L in it. I blew a head gasket on my engine (347, 10:5 to 1, AFR 185, fully built). To make a long story short I blew the head gasket between cyl 3-4. The gasket was the Felpro # AFR recommended. I replaced it with a MLS type gasket from Felpro. It runs great but there is medium sized oil leak from the back of both heads. I removed the valve cover and it looks like drain back holes in the heads don't line up well with the block or gasket. Did I never notice and the softer Felpros covered it up. I have always had a small leak from there. Has anyone had this problem? Help me please! I don't want to go to Chevy! :O

RE: Head gasket oil leak . . .
After doing some research I have decided to go with the Felpro 9333-PT-1. Good choice? After looking into my problem further I have found A LOT of people that either have a coolant leak or oil leak from copper/mls type head gaskets. Others have no problems at all with these gaskets. It seems to be 50/50. Sucks if you ask me. Time to suck it up and pull an all nighter![&o]
