New cometic gas filled head gaskets.

Has anyone else used these for FI? If so have they worked for you?

I understand that they will be put to the test at a very reputable shop soon.

Well I used them on a 4.00" bore, the gaskets only come in a larger size 4.135? . To make it short and sweet I blew 7 cylinders on the dyno. The tune was on. The plugs looked great! Also I was using C16! I think there is too much of a gap between the bore and the gasket. LME said they didn't like the idea, I think they were right. ALL seven of those orings were destroyed!!! They all blew in between the cylinders, where it is SOOOO thin.

I would think twice about using them. I going to try the GM MLS gaskets.

Man that sucks. I love the GM MLS gaskets. For now I won't run anything else. There cheap and take a beating. Using them on my new motor as well. Good luck.
