heres those fel pros you were looking at
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fel-1041
a lot of people run the fel pro version vs the cometics because they are cheaper and with cometics you have to have a very clean surface for them to seal properly... these will seal like the GM ones

Head chamber will usually dictate the gasket bore. I am running AFR heads with unshrouded intake valves. I am using a 4.160" Cometic. Check the width of you chambers before ordering as you don't want the gasket hanging into the chamber.
Thanks vettenuts, Well my heads are just AI 226 ported 243's.

So I wasn't wrong dietcoke, where did I say copper gaskets anywhere?

Anything is going to leak on a shitty surface. @ the OP, try my facebook group. Its a little over 400 strong, we have weekly meets on saturday nights.

Fel pros will seal on a slightly dirtier surface than cometics will in my experience..
A lot of people install dry per instructions but on mine I had a tiny coolant leak with cometics..
I would copper spray for insurance, even on my ls9 gaskets I'm using copper spray

It was implied. The cometics seal as good as the felpros do, they also have sealer applied to them. Unlike the felpros, however, you can reuse them numerous times, and all it takes is a thourough cleaning and basic prep of the surface (i like a 3m pad on drill) and some fresh sealer (3m or permatex copper spray)

this is a stupid question but Do i spray the copper spray on the gaskets? both sides?? or the block deck??
Also i measured combustion chamber width and it measured 3.970 ish.. So i should go with either the cometic 3.970" gaskets or should i just go to the next level which is 4.060" gaskets??
Thanks for all input.
