Default LS7 Head Gakets...

will they work on a 4.010 bore LS2? I'm looking for a good head gasket, but I'm trying to steer way from a $150 set of cometics. Or any suggestions?

What head are you using? Are you running forced induction? The GM 6.0L MLS is a great gasket and very reasonably priced. GM part # 12589227

These have a 4.039" bore diameter, .053" thick.

i have been directed away from the ls7 gaskets because of coolant passages not lining up, but i read several folks run them with success.
an l92 gasket may be a better option for you.
its a 4.09xx-4.10xx bore.

Thanks guys going with the 6.0 gasket. I wasn't aware the cylinder bore on that gasket was as large as it was. Thanks!
