I'm going to be buying some cometic's next week. Which ones and which size do I need? I've seen the 3-layer ones on Thunder's website but I was told to get the 5-layer which I have not seen. This is going on an iron 5.3L bored out to 5.7L - 3.905" using 6.0L LQ9 heads. I'm gonna be running upwards to 20psi. Any help is greatly appreciated. I will be sure to use the copper gasket as well.

I didn't know they made a 5-layer gasket. The 3-layer MLS is the one most people run.

It's a copper based adhesive spray that is meant to be sprayed on gaskets to aid in sealing and help heat transfer. Specifically designed for Exaust manifolds, head gaskets, and turbo flanges.
Thanks alot... this will be very helpful.

Kw copper coat is the original copper gasket sealer if you can find it.
