ARRUZZA HIGH PERFORMANCE - digs our stuff
"I've hand built over 550 426 style Hemi engines and until Best Gasket,
nobody made what I call proper intake, exhaust, or head gaskets,
nobody. Problem solved! Best Gasket produces the finest
gaskets I've ever used. I used them on my 1969 Hemi Daytona, and
I use them exclusively on my custom built Hemi engines." --John
Arruzza
. . . John cuts no corners and his engines are highly revered and sought after.
"THE FINEST ON THE MARKET"
"To anyone intending on using the Best
Gasket product line, you are in for a very pleasent surprise. These
gaskets and seals are the finest in materials and workmanship available
on the market today. I have found them to out-perform any other
product per application."
–Mike Reeves, Mike Reeves Production Tech, Mt. Vernon, WA
. . . Mike builds high-performance big bore flathead Ford engines and demands zero defects from the parts he uses.
"BESTgasket LISTENS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS"
"I can tell you that Best Gasket listens to their customers and is responsive to suggestions. With
any old engine there are problem areas that have existed for
years. They have made several product improvements for
the Y-Block engine. Better head gaskets (GraphTite™), a rubber rear seal for
312, intake gaskets that prevent manifold discoloration, an upgraded
oil pickup seal, and a oil filter adapter gasket that solves the
problem at a common leak area. I use and highly recommend their
gaskets."

. . John is a well respected Y-Block Ford engine builder and parts
distributor. Thanks to John for working with us to build better
products.
GraphTite™ Rope Rear Main Seals - "PROBLEM SOLVED"
"After
having two rope seal failures on the same engine I was beside
myself. Then I stumbled accross an ad for Best Gasket's GraphTite™
rope seals. It worked great, just like they said it would. Problem solved! I
will never use anything else ever again. It's good to know that
all their engine rebuilding kits include either a rubber rear main seal
or a GraphTite™ rope seal."
–Donn Rhode, Precision Engines LLC, Port Clinton, OH
BLOWN FLATHEADS Love BESTgasket
"One key to high horsepower is high cylinder pressure and to utilize that high
cylinder pressure you must be able to seal the combustion chamber. The flathead
Ford is especially challenging because of the irregular shape of the combustion
chamber. During the last year, Roadrunner Engineering sponsored a blown flathead
buildup to demonstrate the potential of a 276 cu.in., street engine using a
Roadrunner kit. The gasket set chosen for this project came from BESTgasket.
How well do they work? Engine dynamometer testing produced a very stout 335 hp
at 5100 rpm and 365 ft-lbs of torque at 4300 rpm using 8 psi boost and 110
octane race gas. The engine, which may be the most powerful street driven
flathead built to date (nicknamed “Killer”), was then installed in the Motorhead
Mart Special (1934 Ford 2-door sedan street rod) and ran at the High Altitude
Flathead and Inline Nationals in Denver (track elevation 5800 feet). The
results, 100.7 mph with a 13.28 second ET in the quarter mile and the 2006 “Top
Rod” eliminator title! BESTgasket's head gaskets were up to the task. I am a believer in their products!"
