LS9 head gaskets on 5.3 rebuild. Layer thicknesses? Anyone know the thickness of each layer? Specifically the two identical "enforcing ring" layers. I guess they would be numbered 2 & 3 top to bottom.. I think you guys know where in going with this but I want that sweet little cherry on top and get my quench toward a more ideal number, on over the counter same day gaskets. It'll get a 6.0 cam, lightly bowl worked & port matched heads and a tune so I'm not concerned about the compromised strength of the gasket. This is my first post so be nice, please 
Or not lol. Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks for the reply. But I'm looking for the thickness of the individual layers. Actually if I just knew the thickness of an "Enforcing Ring" layer I could do the math.. Each gasket has 4. I wanna take out 2.
