Fel Pro has been testing a gasket with 4 layers that has more ability when the head lifts away from the deck. The initial testing was a welded up prototype that worked well, and this is the production gasket. Keep your fingers crossed!

thanks for the explanation kurt
the 'special' is they are something new for me to try to get the thing to hold more boost / more horspowah without having to take the engine out.
providing they work (better than the gm mls) then I wouldn't know why they wouldn't become quite popular

You ever done a double ring set-up??
An inner ring on the head and another on the block???
Copper gaskets of course.
