Using Felpro 1206 vs. Felpro 1205

Im changing intake gaskets and got 1206 as opposed to the 1205..THe 1205 gasket opening is just enough for the head ports so I bought the 1206 instead..Is there something wrong using the bigger port gaskets??

no not as such.. just make sure you have very good placement of the gasket

the larger hole means there is less margin for error on the seal.. but..

I like using a 1206 on my ports that are matched for 1205. it ensures that you won't have anything hanging in the port.

ur Ron J (how do I know who he is) pic is funny. I was listening to kzps.com and they had ron j in an interview. he is comming (doh) out with a documentary movie about himself.

something like 1400 movies in 20years.
