I got mine from SDPC. Send Matt @ SDPC a PM and he'll get you a quote. There are differences in the 6.0L gaskets. There are 3 layer and 5 layer...

Are you running those 5 layers on the amount of boost listed in your sig?

Yes you can still use them.They are just a tad larger diameter than the 6ltr. gasket's ,but work fine. Not that it make's a difference,but the new 5 layer gasket's are completely flat.

Whats the advantage of the 5 layer over the 3?

And these are fine with a 4.000 bore? (Im actually 4.030 just wondering for the stock bore peeps.)

I use the permatex brand you get from the part's stoe. I don't think you are supposed to take the gasket's apart. The 5 layer will work with the 4.030 bore. They are actually a tad larger in diameter.
