Head Gasket help
Head Gasket help So i did something dumb. I have a stock lq9 with stock 317s. I was dumb and ordered the 5.7 gm mls gaskets. Would the 5.7 gaskets work without any damage. Or would that be a bad idea. All info is appreciated. I really dont want to have to buy new bolts and gaskets. but of course if i have to i will.

I believe being that the 5.7 is the smaller bore, the gasket would stick out causing it to burn up. The 5.7 is like a 3.9xx bore and the 6.0 is a 4.0xx bore, meaning the gasket hole for the piston/cylinder would be too small leaving it exposed to combustion.
right, i have done some research and found that but i am not sure the effect that would have to the serviceability of the engine. would it just burn off and then run fine or would it screw things up in there? What do you think?
