Guest Ralmon Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ok guys, my head gasket was blown at the #l cylinder just like y'all said. I can' t find a head gasket set for the 1989 tc 8 valve. Will the head gasket set for the '88 LeBaron work with this car? If not, what will? Thanks, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you have to get the Felpro upper set, do not use their blue coated head gasket. Having worked on Chrysler cars for over 50 years, I have enough experience to know that Felpro head gaskets should not be used on the 2.2L or 2.5L Chrysler engines<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/7414e04e/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/7414e04e/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Reichert Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) From Al Gore and the interweb? \We are saved at the last minute. Replacement for the Mopar Performance head gaskets."I ordered some 005 headgaskets from my dealer and got #5281064 instead. Parts guy said it is the same as 005, just under this number.They arrived the other day and sure look the same as 005."It is also for the cross drilled heads. Don't worry about what the means if you don't know. It is $40 and carries a 12 month warranty.I'm happy because I'm putting an engine together and can't find my last 006 and somebody is coming to recalibrate the computer next week.these are getting scarce also. Closest one to Mo. was 250 miles away and it's one the way here. Edited September 10, 2014 by Bill Reichert (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Reichert Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Someone that is coming to recalibrate an engine for me says he has no problem with the new felpro. He has run the 1/4 mile at 102 mph with a Felpro gasket. If you want to sleep well at night, get the one I listed above. He actually sold his last MP gasket for $70 and bought the Felpro for $17.

89TC-16V Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The new fel pros are apparently not bad. Most TCs are running stock boost and its more than adequate. If you want piece of mind by a cometic and never do one again as its reusuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralmon Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 With Hemi's recommendation we went with the Victor Reinz head gasket. Perfect fit and everything is working fine. Thank you Hemi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
