Head Gasket Question
I'm swapping 243's onto my '98 z. My question is, do I need to get '98 specific gaskets, later gaskets ('99-'02), or are they all the same. Just looking to use .052 MLS gaskets. Thanks

The MLS gaskets will work fine with your 243 castings. The only time you have to use graphite (98-00) gaskets is if your head castings have a "notch" along the deck surface on the exhaust port side. The MLS gaskets will not seal and you will have a massive coolant leak with those heads. All 243 castings are fine with MLS gaskets. We have them here:
