Pontiac/GMC 287 288 316 Full Engine Gasket Set/Kit BEST Head+Intake 1955-1956

Another great vintage listing from Falcon Classic! This listing is for a BEST Gasket complete/full gasket set for 1955-56 Pontiac and GMC models using a 287ci or 316ci Pontiac-designed V-8 engine. P/N RS583G. BEST Gasket is the leading name in sealing performance in the restoration industry. Image shown is an actual factory supplied picture showing set contents.

GraphTite™ cylinder head gaskets consist of Kevlar reinforced graphite facing material mechanically bonded to both sides of a perforated steel core. This modern engineered, high-performance material is rated to a temperature of 1400°-F. Steel fire rings are installed in the combustion chamber areas of the gasket.

GraphTite™ head gaskets have superb sealing characteristics, excellent torque retention, and hold up to the punishment dished out by high-performance engines – high quality all the way. This gasket might be overkill for cruiser engines, but so what... extra performance never hurts!

FALCON TECH NOTE: When installing GraphTite™ head gaskets, use a spray-on sealant like K & W Copper Coat or Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket and always re-torque... no short-cuts.
