That's the new style composite one, not the original metal.

This is the one you want:

and it is the only non dealer gasket or seal we use at the shop. but let the original poster use the amazon felpro gasket. that way in about 2-3 weeks we can read his thread 'i used the amazon gasket but now i have a leak????? what should i do?'

i only fix these turds for a living, what do i know?

The original on a DII is a composite.

Yes, but the composite ones are problematic. The plain metal ones are the way to go.

Never had a problem with Fel Pro, but what's the part number on the Victor Reinz?

I saw it. Not in the market for one, just want to know the part number.

Oh okay here it is MS19611

So the metal ones with foam on the top are crap, and plain metal ones are better? Why?

 

[listerdiesel]

Never heard of problems with the coated valley gaskets on the D2, we certainly haven't seen anything on our own engine.

The issue with plain steel is that you get dissimilar metal corrosion between the ali and the steel parts, something you'll see on the heads between the steel fire ring and the head/block faces.

I'd always used the coated gasket.

either one works fine


the coating is probably for additional corrosion prevention. I've removed a plain metal one that was almost through. That was from a 96 that had spent some time on the east coast.
