Always use the bigger bore or chamber size
Care to elaborate? I assume Patriot ls6 style heads are not 6.0 heads, and I have a 5.7 block, so why would the 6.0 gasket be a good match?

Thats interesting. It was my understanding from what I've read, PP ls6 style heads use the exact same raw gm castings that the ls6 head uses. If that is true, they would have to be opened up for the larger bore for a 6.0, so if they were ordered for a 5.7 they wouldn't need to be opened up that far, therefore wouldn't use the 6.0 gaskets. Am I missing something, or misinformed?
