Which head gaskets for 5.3/4.8
I know there are different head gaskets for 97-01 and 02+ 5.7 heads. Getting S2 5.3 heads and I don't know which gaskets I should be ordering. I have a 99 if that needs to be known. Thanks.

You can use either gasket with the 5.3l heads. '02 gasket is slightly thicker than the '98-01 (.060" vs .053"), but supposedly a better gasket. I have yet to have any issues with either one.
