Re: 6.0L heads with 5.7L gaskets Need to use the 6.0L gasket or a little bigger (approx. 4.10 bore) if you are gonna spray nitrous since you could possibly have problems with the gasket not sealing properly.

Re: 6.0L heads with 5.7L gaskets A friend of mine has the same heads as me and was spraying a 100 dry shot. When spraying, he was getting bubbles in the coolant overflow tank. It was discovered he needed to use a larger bore gasket than 4.00 to prevent lifting of the head.

akw408-this applies to all blown/sprayed applications more than n/a due to the higher actual cylinder pressure.

Re: 6.0L heads with 5.7L gaskets Ohhh, good to know. I actually have 6.0L heads with 5.7L gaskets right now, but haven't noticed anything yet. I'll keep an eye out for it and swap if I see anything.
What is the PN on the 6.0L gaskets?
