Super Coolant
By BaltTSI,

It's not gycol based and it transfers heat 25% better than glycol, in fact if you run too much glycol with your water, you may make your car run hotter, it's just not a good heat conductor.
You can read about on the Valvoline site, they say it's now available at NAPA

gaskets of choice
By Boosted_One,
I am putting my motor together and I noticed I prefer to use different gaskets thruout the motor. Here is what I like to use:
intake manifold: Felpro  part # MS 90981
Exhaust manifold: Dealer    part #- md102683
Head Gasket: TEP metal shim   Part # - tell steve or the knuckle head that answers
Timing cover: NAPA (or whoever) Â Part #- JV943
valve cover: NAPA (or whoever) Â Â Part # - VS39865CP
oil pump: dealer
I've found the Felpro intake gasket to be superior to anyones.
Feedback please ANYBODY?
