Well, I think the MLS I have may be for a 5.7 . . . can anybody confirm? Part # 12498544
Also, someone in this thread says that Corky Bell recommends to not use MLS on a higher boosted engine . . . dont' know what the definition of higher is though:

I have heard MLS gaskets won't work with the o-rings. I have some new cometics I bought without knowing this myself. If anyone wants them they are for stock bore and .052.

That's who told me they won't work. I don't know why but that is what they told me. I have TEA 5.7 boost heads with o-rings and was told to run stock graphite gaskets. I am dissapointed as I got 145.00 gaskets I can't use.

Maybe it's just cometics. I don't know, Brian Tooley is the one who told me they won't work and to use graphite. I don't know if the GM mls gaskets are any different from cometics. When he told me that I did a search on here and many people said the same thing as Brian. Someone please clear this up, to me it doesn't matter because I have both and my motor is not together but it may make a difference to others.
