241 Cast Heads Come In -- Head Gaskets! Need some quick help I am changing my buddies heads, due to some damage to the heads. He has a 99 Z28 that had the 853 Cast. Heads. Well I just got him a set of 241 Cast (O1-02) heads, that come with a 5-Angle Valve Job and a nice little .003 clean up on them. What I need to know is what head gaskets to run for these heads. I have heard a few different ones:
--- Ive heard some Fel-Pros will work
-----Then I head with the 241s compared to the 853s I should use a MLS type gasket! Which is what Im leaning towards...
*** I was wondering what you guys are using that have changed heads or just done a head gasket replacement with this casting of head.
*** If you could include a part # and where to get these I would greatly appreciate it, or just the specs and place to get will work also.
Got to order these ASAP so I can work on the car this weekend.
TIA

I used the graphite gaskets that were called out for 01-02 LS6 heads (243 castings) when I did my H/C swap...but if I do it all again, I think I'll look at the MLS gaskets...
