Default what head gaskets 2000 Trans Am
I'm getting prepaired for the worst. I just done a cam swap and now I have a whine so i don't know how long the cam and lifters will last. What kind of head gasket is on my 2000 TA? the copper type or the graphite? Anybody know the part number for the stock gasket for my car?

Is this the correct part number for the 00 TA? 12498543 There seems to be so many differant head gasket part numbers I don't know what ones to buy

Whats the point of going 6.0? Just lower the compression a small amount...

Get 5.7L MLS gaskets. I don't know the part number off hand...

what is the differance between the LS1 and the 6.0 gasket? I just want to leave the compression the same so all I need is just a stock gasket

6.0L gasket has a bigger bore than stock

Get the 5.7L MLS gasket... Call your dealer for a part number and then order online...
