I bought a Felpro gasket set for the Dart engine. No plug tube seals! It is a FS 7918 PT-4.

Is this for the newer model motors with the peanut head?

Is there another one I can get?

Pisses me off I was going to cc my head.

My NAPA had them on the shelf a few months ago, so they shouldn't be hard to find.

It's an aggravation that you buy a complete overhaul kit and they aren't included. :roll:

I ordered a valve cover gasket from them that has the seals. Should be here this afternoon. If not the seals alone will take several days.

It never hurts to have an extra valve cover.especially with a new cam.

The correct overhaul gasket set from Felpro is the KS2103.
It has the seals and everything you may or may not need.

How many you want to get rid of for postage? My gasket came in. No seals!

They sell the cork one without the seals. Rubber one with the seals :roll: I don't like the rubber ones.

I wanted to cc the head today. Just wanted to install the plugs once.

I like the looks of the drool plug heads. Makes me think I have a pseudo hemi :roll:

Thanks!
