What gasket between LS1 block and 6.0L (317) heads?
First off, I don't want to hear from anybody who walks to discuss whether the head bore should match the cylinder bore. I'm beyond that.
I believe convention says GM MLS gaskets from the truck engine (LQ4, LQ9) should be used in this application. The gaskets need to be matched to the bore of the head, is that right? So, my choices are pretty limited. I do want to go with a GM gasket because I'm using GM bolts.
Can I use an LS2 head gasket? Does anyone have dimension (thickness) information for the LS1 head gasket? Will it mate properly to an LS2 block? ...to the 317 heads?
I've searched and haven't found anyone discussing this. Please chime in if you have any information.
