3.0 or 3.2?
We do not carry Motorcraft but we do sell aftermarket gaskets that we would not hesitate to put on our SHO's. I just installed some myself: http://www.shosource.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=61_43_44&products_id=179

can you divulge if this is a fel pro 9821pt gasket or a ROL gasket hg33800?
I was probably just going to use the head gaskets, because I have spares of other gaskets to finish this. The rest was going to build my spare motor.
I don't want to worry about quality, i'd like to rule that out. The "rock" stamped dnj head gaskets I used didn't last 100k, and I don't want to do this again.
I wonder too about the quality of the rol gaskets, or victor reinz head sets.

Off hand I do not know as we may have a couple different options.

It would be nice to know which ones are good. I don't know what you mean by stamped, stamped from metal or gasket. i've seen pics that look like both are available. when I look at the shsource picture it looks like a fel pro to me, i'll let you know when I get my fel pro's in the mail. of course, they could use a stock pic. I'm not sure if victor reinz made a set for the 3.0. if they did I couldn't find it. did you try greensales with the oem motorcraft number?
Made this list a while back while searching for 3.2 gaskets. Personally, I will only use Fel-Pro. I do know someone who ordered head gaskets through SHO Source and he said they worked perfectly fine. Everything I've read about DNG makes them sound like crap.
Head Gasket part numbers
DNG HG4111 3.0 (HGS4111)
DNG HG4141 3.2 (HGS4141)
Fel-Pro 9821PT 3.0 (HS9821PT)
Fel-Pro 26228PT 3.2 (HS26228PT)
ROL HG33800 3.0
ROL HG33801 3.2
Victor 54033 3.0
I was lucky enough to find new Fel-Pro 3.2 gaskets but it took a long time searching and asking around.

On the RCM website, they advertise a Made in Japan Head gasket 3.0 set, do you know brand or part number those are?
This was listed for sale awhile back by gasket deals, this is why I asked the question

I have some 3.0 sho headgaskets from ford. I don't get on here often but you can also text me at 715-379-5288. I also have some of the other gaskets
I guess when you've got people by the balls it doesn't matter. Rol/fel-pro/victor it's all the same, and maybe one of them might last? Why not just come out and say that from the start it'll be whatever. I thought you might have oem gaskets stashed.
If I didn't spend $750 on a cat back, in the end, from you guys and rebuild my entire suspension i'd burn the ******* car to the ground. This has gotten to the point of ridiculousness.
Yes I agree, it would be wonderful. The gaskets had a white stamp that said "rock", and they more than likely didn't manufacture them.
I tried green sales last night. I actually had a company based in cali ready to ship two stock gaskets, but in the end the part number on one was wrong and it was misrepresented.
I'm sure people will talk shit and act like i'm in the wrong, but don't label something as fel pro if it's not. I just bought a head set off amazon that was labeled as fel pro. The scumbag sent me tracking and said o yeah by the way it's victor reinz. I wanted to cancel the order, because if i'm going to buy an inferior product i'll buy dnj again, but they gave me $130 partial refund because they are lying pieces of shit.
I've officially had it and it's not worth the hassle. I never had to "maintain" a car this much. I've basically had a sho on the road since I could drive, it's like those women you hear about that keep coming back to their abusive boyfriends.

I just realized you said rcm in your first post... oops. but give them a week or two it's probably not their only job. and, are you saying you have a set of victor reinz that you want to part with??
I did buy a set of Victor Reinz when they were available off ebay, but those are going into storage for now. I'm just trying to figure out who makes the Made in Japan versions, the ones RCM sells or Victor Reinz or are they the same.

I'm saying the made in japan is OEM motorcraft or ford, I think that is what rcm is selling in their kit and separately, check the page again.
sorry, I was talking to tompumped about his gasket set, too many things going on here...

I emailed RCM this summer asking what mfg their head gaskets were. Never got a reply. I think I also saw that they had modified HG's to fit properly and wondered if they had modified DNJ hg's

If they responded to my emails I would've bought a full gasket set and two head gaskets. Now i'm so fed up i'm probably not going to build the spare motor I have.
I purchased a head set that was labeled as fel pro and the seller then sent me an email stating that they were victor reinz. I didn't cancel the order but I got a $130 partial refund. I might just sell it because aldrich came through with oem head gaskets and shipped them out right away.
Thank you again for the gaskets it's a huge relief.
