Just pulled one head off my engine and I'm trying to figure out what head gasket was on it. Only thing stamped on it is, 5906-1 VR Canada, the VR is circled. Just interested in what they were, I'm guessing they were .041 compressed but measured out to be .050 on the metal ring after taking them off.

 

I cant locate a part number, but Victor Reinz would be my guess.

 

yeah ive searched any way that i can, search engines, and online parts lookup pages and come up with nothing for that number


what do you want to know and what engine do you have, year and size ?

what type of gasket is it ?
is it later nitro seal, or old original steel shim, or ?

 

It's a 91 350 block, the gasket is the newer stuff with the dark silver looking coating on it. The engine has been put together a little over 3 years. It's no biggie if anyone can't find info on it, just wanted to see what it was for the compressed height.
