Hi, I have a quick question, I'm doing a top end rebuild on the truck listed above 302 all stock my question is I bought a FEL-PRO 9333 PT-1 Head Gasket and Fel-Pro Performance Head Gaskets 1011-2 so 2 different gaskets so 1 head has PT-1 other head has Fel-Pro Performance Head Gaskets 1011-2 is this ok? They both fit I assume, just the thickness of gaskets. Or should I just do both heads PT-1 or both PT-2? Or is it okay to leave it with both having 2 different gaskets.

Using two different head gaskets on a 1996 Ford F150 5.0 302 (one Fel-Pro 9333 PT-1 and one Fel-Pro Performance 1011-2) is not recommended.

Thickness Difference:

Use the same type of gasket on both cylinder heads. Given that you have both the Fel-Pro 9333 PT-1 and Fel-Pro Performance 1011-2 gaskets
