I have the Cometic Head Gaskets. They cost me $80.00 a piece. The felpro ones are cheaper but i don't want to take any chances with the BLOWER on my car.

i have heard good things about cometic gaskets, but i dont know how much they are. I hear that you just adjust the rockers till they dont click on the pushrods anymore and that is zero lash at tdc and tighten them there.
that is excactly how you go about torquing rockers

I really can't give you an honest answer since I haven't used them.
