TR2/3/3A who makes a GREAT fitting TR3/4 manifold gasket?

[eschneider]

I'm dealing with a manifold that's been ported, and the gaskets from moss & VB fit OK, but could have some more meat on them (I.E., the holes in the gaskets are larger than the holes for the intake ports)

As a result, there isn't much sealing contact area on the gasket....

I really don't want to have to make gaskets - and I'm sure somebody makes better-fitting gaskets for these cars....

Check with NAPA. They have FelPro. Only other thing I can think of would be to hunt a Payen head set. ISTR the guys in PA (TRF) have 'em?

The late "uncle jack" engineered and sold some. Contact his son Tony Drews or Google Uncle Jack Racing.

I've been very happy with the heavy duty gaskets that Moss offers (they also offer the standard ones, but these are much much thicker).

thanks all!

I'll check out the HD moss gaskets. Not sure why I couldn't find them earlier...

I think Felpro discontinued the 4-cylinder TR gaskets.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out this was a low-port manifold someone bastardised to run on a high-port head. Ugh. The worst part is the customer is convinced his engine is a super-dooper high performance race engine.... ("it's got a three-quarter race cam, no less")

My tongue is developing callous-es from excessive biting.

Thanks again everyone!

Call uncle Dave at TRF and ask if they still offer the gasket sold with the tubular headers. I have this gasket on my 250 and it fits great. Not sure it is available for a 4 cyl.
