In a few weeks I'm going to be helping a buddy install my old AFR 205cc heads on his 03 Vette. I've been doing some research on head gaskets looking for an alternative head gasket with a compression thickness around 0.040" that is cheaper than Cometics. Does Fel-Pro or another manufacturer have a 0.040" head gasket for a stock bore LS1 that is reasonable $?

I have sure heard some bad things about the fel-pros....an inordinate number of leaks....of course just like cometics some swear by them and some swear at them...

haha... maybe if you seperate the layers.....

GM MLS either 5.7 or 6.0 are both .060 compressed.

I think I had a brain fart. I really don't know what the hell I was thinking

For some reason, I thought the factory GM gasket for a 2000 (standard graphite, NON MLS) had a compressed thickness of 0.054. Maybe I'm wrong. I have a ticking sound coming from #7 and think it might be a lifter, so if the heads have to come off, I want to go with a slightly thinner head gasket to get a better quench area.

A quick question, stock bore is what... 3.989 or something like that? Why does summit only list 4.000 and 4.060 as bore options for gaskets?

Thanks guys.
