Thank God....Did I dodge a bullet?
I was worried about my head gaskets, because I had .040 Cometics, which are great, but I also have a stock bottom end, 234/242 cam, and 853 heads. I read how some of the 99 heads had the notch, that can cause a leak with newer gaskets, and didn't know if I had the notch in mine. I had the heads off for a while but didn't have a chance to look until today, and guess what? That notch was there. I'm getting LS6 heads now, since I got mine pulled off, and stock gaskets. My question is, did I dodge a bullet by not running the notched 853's with Cometics?

Not yet... , but it might be in the future. I just liked the way my old G5X2 performed and that had an 8 degree split, and it seems that a lot of the best performing cams have wide splits (G5X4, T-Rex...record holders). I can't go too overboard with spray in my ride because i still have a stock bottom end anway.

Have you ever read up on how well the 230/224 TR cam performs?
