Title: Couple questions Olds 455
Post by: Jetonthewater16ft on March 04, 2016, 08:27:33 PM

Hey guys got a couple questions regarding intake gaskets for a 455.
First I pulled the old intake and noticed it had steel gaskets but not the full valley tray once piece. It looks to have a mondello valley tray and two gaskets. I was wondering if I could buy the steel beaded full one piece and cut the two gaskets out.... Or should I buy the good composite Felpro gaskets and seal them in good.
Any thoughts? And suggestions on sealer?

The Mondello tray,good intake gaskets and quality silicone sealer on the ends, your good to go. The tray keeps oil from the bottom if intake, the soft gaskets (intake) seals better than the metal factory tray angry the silicone seals much better than the cork strips. Juzz my 2cents.
