New 5 Layer GM Head Gasket's Result's! To start I have a set of Dartt225's with o-ring's. I purchased a set of the new GM 5 layer gasket's as did Cablebandit and they are completly flat! i went ahead and and installed them with my head's. I asked a bunch of people if they would work and some said yes and some said no,and some havn't even seen them yet! If the gasket was designed any different I would not have installed them,but the top metal gasket is paper thin and under neath that it is recessed just as the old 3 layer gasket is. Anyway, The car is running and no leak's and I am letting it cool down to retorque them and then I will get into some boost with it and find out if they will work or not?So far so good!

I have ran .040 Cometics with AFR 225 heads with 18 lbs of boost with L-19 head studs and I need to change my gaskets now because I am pushing some water out the over flow when running it hard. I have a set of these 5 layer GM gaskets that I am going to try. I really want a set of the Fel-Pro 6 layer gaskets.

MM, Cablebandit started another thread on the new gm gasket's and has some pic' posted! Damn, pushing water with afr head's! I only pushed water this last time because i was hot lapping it at the track. Other than that it was ok.
