5EFE vs FHE Gaskets

[Idrees]

This might sound like a silly question; is the engine gasket set the same for a 5EFE and 5EFHE? I just want to confirm as I've ordered a 5EFE gasket set for a FHE engine.

Id you would want the 4e head overhaul kit and get the 5e crank seal separate

only the mani has different gaskets if you have an acis. mani to black is the same.

acis intake had 2 gasket more, 17171-11010 and the 17179-11010

From what I know the FHEhas a thinner. Gasket to raise the compression

Nomez what's the difference between the 4E and 5E head? The cam/valve seals will surely be the same? I don't need the turbo/inlet/head gaskets so I thought a 5EFE would do fine, atleast I know the crank seals will be the same?

I don't have a Acis inlet but cheers anyway Mike. The HG size doesn't bother me as a 1.2mm Zep will be fitted. ;)

Cheers for the replies.

Well the gaskets are the same but the parts (i.e springs) 4e is stronger due to turbo application hence why people use the 4e head.

From what i remember the difference between FHE and FE (5e) is the thicker rods and cams, so that would indicate the gaskets would be the same.

The 5E head I have is amazingly clean so I decided to use that, I did a Google search on 5EFHE vs 4EFTE valve springs and found someone had pressure tested them and they were just the same. I'll find the link now.

Edit - Look here

I know the cast is the same as ive seen them both but was under the impression the components were different.

Most of the info is on TGTT, you can use my username and password to sift through the info and find what you want.

I can still browse the site for any info but the EP91 and AUSC forums have tonnes of info too. ;)
