Head gasket options I am looking for some inexpensive .040 head gaskets. I dont need ceramic just .040 for a stock bore LQ4 6.0l . Who makes them and maybe a part number would be very helpful.

Cheap and head gaskets don't belong in the same sentence. Factory graphite head gaskets are cheap but they aren't gonna come in custom thicknesses. So you might as well bite the bullet and go Cometic if you are wanting to run .040.

You can run some Fel-pro 1041 which are .041" but I heard they are actually a tad less then that. How to word this, they are not stock cheap but they are cheaper then the cometic's. I bought some on fleabay for $55 a piece.
