ICS Head gaskets Anyone using them ?
http://www.scegaskets.com/products/ics.html
I think my GM MLS are starting to weep a little, so will be doing a replacement soon.
ive ordered a pair of these. Copper based, 0.040" thick, with the steel ring etc
Stock bore, Stock LS6 block with the Edelbrock heads and ARP studs.
Will post pics when they arrive....
They did say they had some initial problems with early versions, but latest ones are working fine.

One thing that will annoy...it says you MUST re-torque them after running the engine to normal operating temp for the first time.

i'm running them... and yes, you do need to re-torque them after a heat cycle -- big PITA. It doesn't necessarily have to be after the first heat cycle, but definitely do it before you get into boost.
Regardless of what they say, use copper spray on them. It's also not a bad idea to throw a bottle of alumaseal in your radiator. Several people have not had the same luck sealing the water passages.
Mine sealed up fine with copper spray and no alumaseal...

it fills any minor imperfections with copper and helps seal the gasket to the block and head surfaces.
