Default Are these the right gaskets?

I'm putting my Patriot LS6 style heads and on the head gasket it says front on one end and 60L on the other. Maybe that means 6.0 Liter? If so, will these work on my 5.7? I hope so because Im torqueing them down right now.

Yes they will work fine. The Head is a Truck Head so they use the 6.0l gasket to make sure it seals correctly.

Thank you. I wanted to make sure before I got it all back together. Id hate to tear it right back down after all this work.

will the 6.0l head gaskets work on a 5.3l head? If not which gaskets do they use?

Come on guys. I've already searched the forum and there are no direct answers. The heads will be here in a couple of days and I would like to order the gaskets already.

I got the same heads and gaskets from PP, they will work. Just make sure you put the word front toward front of engine.
