Wednesday the 26 I plan to pull the motor out of my fox and freashen it up a bit. With that said I'm going to replace all the gaskets in there, my question is what gasket have PROVEN THEIR SELFS. Its have 5.0 bock with elderbrock heads on. I figure/assume the headgasket needs to be certain materail for it to get good seal on iron block and alumn. heads.
Also what brand of water pump? I know its stupid to say but I went to summit and they have 4524524 different kinds. My rev limit is 6k, I know I wont be spending all my time up there but a good bit. I was looking in to the ford racing (since its kinda OEM parts) for about 60 bucks, but it made to rev to 6k. I figure it would be a good idea to get something that made to rev little past that. Am I on the right track or just over thinking here?
Also APR bolts kits I need to tq them down, loosen them, re tq correct? Do this about 5-6 times then tq them down for good?
I also need to look in to getting a harmonic balancer. I found summit racing one for 120-130 and its SFI approve
