got a leaky head gasket, help with options i just put a prety much stock 6.0 together, put in head studs, cam, springs, rod bolts and some cometic head gaskets. i have drivin it for about a month now and have been thru 4 bottles of nitrous. just recently i realized i have a tiny head gasket leak, i am presureizing the cooling system and loosing some coolant, like 1 cup every tank of gas. it is a tiny leak, i put 120psi to the cylinder and it took 20minutes before i had any increase in coolant sys presure(firmer hose).
what should i do?
just pull the one head and have it surfaced a min amount and reuse the cometic?
pull both heads and surface and use some felpro's($26/pair and local)
or do both heads but with some stock mls gaskets(
~$200for the set with bolts that i dont need, thats the only way i can get them)
i will be hiting this motor with a t76 next week

well take off your heads and inspect them and the gaskets.
if the gaskets look shady dont reuse them if the heads look bad, get them fixed.
i think you can order just the GM mls gaskets with out the bolts.
if your cometics are damaged call them up , thell probably give you a new set free like they did me.
here TR sells the 6.0 mls gaskets for $30
