Generation IV Internal Engine - What is the compressed thickness of the LS2 head gasket?

Is it thicker or thinner than the truck 6.0 gasket? Or, is it the same?

Interesting..... is the LS2 gasket graphite or MLS?

yeah I want to know that, also. I would assume MLS, but some people think the graphite ones seal better...

pluggin the the spec's you'll need a gasket thickness of ~.060 to achieve the 10.9 CR.

ahhh the old reverse-engineering calculation method. thanks, JRP. So that's about as thick as the truck gasket, yeah? Is it MLS?

ya, its looking to be about as thick as the truck gasket, more or less depending the spec's you use (exact or rounding up/down). i'd wager MLS, from my knowledge they havent used graphite since 97 - 98.
