So are all cummins head gaskets made in china or did i get f'ed, this one looks just like a fel pro or who ever sell them at the local auto parts stores. I cant stand buying shat made in china.
 
Made in china is whats wrong with it, enough said, i am not supporting the United states of china!

Genuine Cummins gaskets may be made in China but they are way better than Fel-Pro's junk. Lay them side by side and there's no comparison.
 
side by side

there the same
 
Wonder what the difference is? I've got a Fel-Pro here and it doesn't have the wide orange rubber or whatever gasket material like the genuine Cummins. It also must have been too large for their packaging because it came out of the box with 1" of the end folded over. Not completely creased but folded and ruined nevertheless. Fel-Pro have a heavy-duty and standard gasket? I'll post pics tomorrow. My Cummins gasket looks just like both of those. Even the fire ring is much thinner on the Fel-Pro in the shop.

I thought felpro just repackaged cummins gaskets? I could be way off though. I always get mine from cumapart. And 3 out of 5 gave said made in china on them.

This is what I'm talking about. And the fire rings on the Fel-Pro are not connected.

Some guys swear by using the Fel Pro but the one and ONLY time I used one, because the customer was a cheapskate, it failed!
 
I bought 2 fel pro 9313pt (1 to use with the hone plate)and measured them every way,unless the sealant compound is different they were the same.Heres another side by side.
