Default L92 head gasket with 317s
Any draw back to this? Seems the l92 gaskets seem to be cheaper everywhere I look and I cannot think of any reason not to use them.

It will just lower compression ratio a little bit since its a larger bore.

I wouldn't prefer a 4.100 bore gasket on a 4" bore with a 317 head. I would stick with the LS2/6.0 gasket. They are within $5-$6 of each other per gasket, pretty close in price

Jegs or summit is selling the L92 gasket for 27$ a piece. Cannot find a 6.0 gasket anywhere near that.
