Default Percy Header Gaskets

Anyone ever use them? The crush style aluminum gaskets? I want something good while im doing my headers and everyone tells me these work great but im looking for people who have used them on LSX cars. Thanks.

we sell both but their xx carbon work better on the lsx engines. the seal-4-good are too thick unless your header flange is warped.

Im curious about the thickness thing? Ive used them on a BBC before, but I dont want to put something on this car that I have to change because these cars are a pain in the ***. So I want something that will seal perfect the first time.

My friend used Percys with a brand new set of Kooks. They leaked. Put used stockers back on and no leaks. I dont recommend them.
