No, I do not. I didn't see the head gasket until later. I think you have it figured out. Put it on the list if you have to tear back into it.
Ya,the tuner said to get the mls gasket the last time i saw him?....im not sure what to do?,i know for sure im putting the 6psi pulley on now though,i just want to make it work,and like i said before i dont want to be greedy,just want to make it safe
i havnt checked the timing cover?,by the pics it "seems" like i found my prob?......man do you think i should pull everything off and check?....now your giving me doubts?...lol
this is what he is saying to run?....cometic,4.030 bore,.050 thickness,said anything between .048-.052......i checked and didnt see felpro with those numbers?....anything compatable that you guys know of from felpro or someone else?Unless you get the block and head PERFECTLY straight and they are prepped for them., don't get MLS gaskets. I've run 9333pt1's on every mustang I;ve owned for 25 years and they are fine.. They have a better fire ring than the 1011's and IMO you want the head gasket to be the fuse in the system.
Check the block and heads for straightness while eveything apart and get the surfaces squeaky clean using razor blades, green scotchbrites. I don;t like whiz wheels on aluminum. Make sure you put the HG on so both front go to the front and look up- one will look wierd but it does go that way.

ok....well im at a toss up?....with your info and from what i read on the net,the 9333s hold up well with boost,this tuner told me to go with the cometics?!.....i like the fusable link idea also if things dont go well,but i dont want him to blame the head gaskets and say i told you so!?you will be fine. They are 4.10 and you are 4.030. The compressed thickness of the 9333 is .47.

Listen I wouldn't do the cometic deal . 1 if the block and heads aren't prepped right for the gaskets you'll have issues . 2 like you said the fusible link . Felpro makes and MLS gasket as well I have them on my caras you can tell im nervous now!
ok brotha....9333s it is and i know their in stock,i trust you guys more than these tuners...lolListen I wouldn't do the cometic deal . 1 if the block and heads aren't prepped right for the gaskets you'll have issues . 2 like you said the fusible link .

im talking with another tuner now and he recomended the cometics also,but im using the 9333sTrust us man. We've been there many times. You are doing this rebuild not your tuner. The cometic gaskets need a certain RA vs. a non cometic gasket. The 9333pt1's will be fine. This is the same tuner that **** up your tune which caused the HG to blow and now is telling you to put on cometic gaskets, but is not helping you out. I wouldn't put much into what he says.
I cannot stress enough to get all the surfaces surgical clean and dry.
Do not lay into the boost until you have a good tune in place-from a different tuner.
im not using cork gasket just a bead of the right stuff?....do i still need to seal it?.....not sure exactly what you mean?I only read to certain point and skimmed the rest. This response may no longer be relevant (I'm on page 16 moving forward).
Have you removed and looked at the timing cover for cracks etc?
--also--
Aftermarket heads leave a gap between it and the block right at the corners of where the cork gasket should be sitting if you used one. That gap has to be filled from behind/underneath the lip of the deck and bottom of the head.

all held perfect compression?....one i can feel yes!!!!take your finger nail and if you cannot catch the scratch line then you are ok. Could be a ring catching due to boost.
Tops dry . Lowers go through water jackets on Stock blockim putting thread sealer on all the lower studs,i have arp studs,do the top nuts go on dry?
