No problems with the GM [graphite] head gaskets leaking. They can be used on all year models

In fact, I too have TEA ported 5.3 L heads with these gaskets.

Get them from SDPC

LS1 / LS6 Head Gasket Kit (contains both right and left gasket)
Price: $34.95
Part # 12498543

I have used every gasket out there it seems like and my favorite is the Dana / Victor gaskets. You can get them from a NAPA dealer. I paid $12 each for mine!!! They are a graphite gasket.
