Which head gasket... I'm trying to find head gaskets for my build, but I don't need $90.00/each Cometics.
I have a 6.0, with 243 heads, an Ls6 intake, and a .585 lift Trick Flow cam & kit and stock bottom end. Nothing exotic.
I want to stick with .051 thickness. Good, reliable, reasonably priced gaskets are what I'm looking for here.
What do you think?
Thanks...

OK, another question.
I was comparing a couple of gasket specs, just out of curiosity, and the specs are:
A.Chevrolet, Part Number: 12589227
Bore (in): 4.020 in.
Gasket Material: Composite
Compressed Thickness (in): 0.051 in
B. Fel Pro, Part Number: 26192PT
Bore (in): 4.100 in.
Gasket Material: Multi-layer steel
Compressed Thickness (in): 0.048 in
The bore of my LQ4 is 4.0" (stock) and I'd like to know the effect, if any, between the 4.020 and the 4.100 gasket bore size?
I know there will be a slight increase in compression (.051 vs. .048 thickness).
Which would you use? Or... does it matter?
Thanks...

I prefer MLS every time on my LS builds, and I’ve bought quite a few from WS6Store. Good folks and even better prices.
