the heads themselves for 98-02 changed (853 vs. 241) i think the castings are, so maybe they need diff head gaskets, not possitive but no one else said anything so i figured it would help.

i think that the 98 and 99 valve covers are perimeter... and the the 00-02 valve covers are center... someone told me that 98 ls1 heads were casted differently... so i would try the price of a 99 instead.

you can get oem graphite victor reinz head gaskets for 11$ each. you can get the whole top end rebuild gasket set for 30-40$
unless you want to run a thin cometic mls gasket your wasting money on over priced others
