Percy's Seal - 4 - Good or their Carbon XXX gaskets are excellent also.

GM metal gaskets. You can even re-use them with no issues.

Percy's seal-4-good is the best.

GM's work awesome, don't get me wrong, but they are not the best. The people who are recommending them haven't had the Percy's gaskets. Either way you go, you'll probably be fine.

GM if you are only looking for a replacement. If you need something that is thinner due to compression issues I would say to go with Cometics, but only if you needed a different thickness than the factory.

Header gaskets, not head gaskets.

This is assuming that hedder = header in Montana.

The GM gaskets arent bad, but once you have one go south on you then youll be all over the Percy gaskets.
