Head Gasket question...

I have an 05 LQ9 and was wondering can I use pre 2002 6.0 headgaskets? I dunno why the price jumps from 15.99 to 64.99 each if they are just different material.

The MLS gaskets are way more expensive than the older style graphite type. You can run the graphites but the MLS is a better gasket. You can get them from TSP for $73 a pair if you are interested in going that route.

You can use GM MLS 6.0L head gaskets for your application. You can get these from most sponsors for about $60 a pair.

GM part number 12589227
