What is your piston to deck value? in/out and by how much? That is what you should base your decision on. If GM gasket leaking, that is odd, maybe your heads are warped.

Maybe you blew a gasket if it is leaking? Cometic can make almost any gasket you need but you should keep your quench in the ballpark.

all between 5-10 out of the hole. pretty close to stock. i have studs also. it only does it on the nitrous, its fine on the motor-i can beat it all day with no loss of water. spray it once and it goes down.
