i am preparing to order a trick flow top end kit. anyone who has used this, what is the quality of the gaskets they include in the kit. usually you get pretty cheesy gaskets when they are included. i just want to be prepared when this stuff gets here. thanks

They are basically Fel-Pro gaskets boxed in a trick flow package, They are not bad I guess. I have not had any issues

Are the heads O-ringed?

If not, Ford Motorsport Graphite Head Gaskets work extremely well. FMM-6051-B51.

I have them in my s/c'd engine for 2+ years and they are holding up quite nicely.

thanks! within the next 6 months it is going to get:

*TFS top end kit
*30lb injectors/FPR
*TB
*MAF
*Pullies
*255lph pump
*Aluminum radiator/elec fan
*Brackets painted and firewall wires hidden.
*3G alternator swap
*Manual steering rack

i think that is the big stuff, although i am sure it will take more like 8 months or so since nothing ever goes as planned.

no they are just standard. i will check on those gaskets but i am hoping the included ones are quality since this next build up is going to get expensive i am trying not to spend if i dont have too. however i will to save myself from tearing it back down. are those gaskets available thru local parts store or only from ford?

The major online vendors such as Summit & FordRacingProducts.com has them. Probably cheaper than if you were to buy it from Ford. Availablity should be no problem.
