Felpro Headgasket

Post by budzinsk »

Hi Everyone. I have a 84 Spider I am working on. I have had great luck with Felpro headgaskets on my X1/9's, and I would like to get one for the spider. I noticed on the Felpro site and Ebay, it says it only works for Spiders through 81. Is this accurate? I know with X1/9's they had different head bolt sizes, but I cannot think of a reason this would work on a 84. Is it that Felpro just did not update their application guide, or is there a valid reason?

Thanks!
Rob

All the 2 liter US-model Spiders take the same gasket. Felpro used to rebox a great quality German gasket for the Fiat 2 liter, but lately they substituted that with a cheapie gasket. I would not bother with it.
