When I assembled my spare 455 engine last year I used a standard FelPro gasket set which included a cork oil pan gasket. A few months ago I bought some gaskets from Rock Auto that were on clearance, one being a FelPro OS30471C fiber oil pan gasket set.
Questions: Has anybody used the fiber oil pan gasket on their GMC engine? In theory the fiber gasket should be more durable and leak-free over time than the cork one. In practice, is it really better? Since the engine is on an engine stand in the garage it's easy to install the fiber gasket. If you were me, would you change out the cork gasket for the fiber one?
