I ordered a gasket kit from my parts guy whenever I was ordering parts. He said I would need special intake gaskets for the Brodix heads and my intake (Performer RPM). Today as it was time to put on the intake I realize I was supposed to have P/N 1210 (oval ports) but I actually got P/N 1211 (rect ports). These are Fel-Pro gaskets. Anyway, I didn't want to use the rect. port gaskets because they were overlapping the ports a bit. The kit still came with standard Fel-Pro intake gaskets that fit the oval ports just fine.

I realize the difference between the gaskets that I am using now and the 1210 P/N: the latter one does not have a provision for a water jacket port, since the heads do not have them; the one I'm using does.

I'm wondering if this is really a big deal. I know that the intake is going to want water go to down in there but my dad and mine's thoughts are it is still sealed anyway...

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hey Taylor,
If this s Small Block, which Race Rites are you talking about? the 180's or the 200's?
If you have the RR180's the FEL-PRO gasket recommended is FP 1204.
if you have the RR200's the FEL-PRO gasket recommended is FP 1206

It's the Race Rite ovals for a big block.

Got a pic up. This is the gasket I'm using. Hope the pic works.
