SCE Titan head gaskets--anyone using? Planning to buy some (stock bore), .043 thickness with F11, 5.3 TEA heads, ARP studs...anyone have experience? In particular, leakage issues? Thanks in advance...

No, the block/heads are not o-ringed. I see these as an alternative to cometics, they are offered in the stock bore size and in varying thicknesses. Cometics have been known to leak, and wondering if anyone had better results from these. BTW, they cost less than cometics. Thanks.

Id like to use the regular SCE copper gaskets. You guys dont see a problem using the 4.060 bore gaskets on a stock bore motor do you? sorry for threadjacking. I do agree that these are a cost effective alternative to cometics when you want to run smaller than .054. Plus they say theyre reusable up to 5 times.

You have an o-ringed block or heads? If not, then I wouldn't bother with them.
