whats the difference between the 1011 and the 9333

woodsy

The 1011 is a printoseal fel pro gasket, also the 1011 is .041 thick and the 9333 is .047. The number one contributing factor to a failed head gasket is split between a bad tune and factor in the small fords have 10 head bolts per side. For example a small chevy has 17 per side, 34 total, they have almost as many on one bank as the small ford has total. Use a quality head bolt or better yet a stud and run the gasket of your choice BUT like I said your block will be finish honed with a torque plate, using an arp head bolt or stud and 1011 or 9333 unless otherwise specified by you. When finish honing the bores to size I simulate the engine the engine the way it will be assembled, thus ensuring the bores have no more than 1 or 2 ten thousandths taper and out of round in 8 different places in the bore thus maximizing ring seal. Ton of HP in ring seal.

sounds good woodsy. i should be giving you a call this week to purchase a motor. im very excited lol. i got a set of used arp head bolts would those work fine or would i be better of buying new bolts/studs?

If they were not yours when new buy a new set of arp head bolts, wh knows what the previous owner did with them, but they can be reused numerous times when not over torqued and stretched. So if you dont know the history but a new set
