I'm just telling you what has worked for me. Will it work for you? I don't know. But this is the same setup we will be using on the Formula when we replace the iron block. Cheaper then copper and no silicone mess to deal with.
Good luck.

The head and block prep is the same as for a MLS gasket... There are alot of these gaskets out in race engines now with awesome results.. They may be new but they work.
