Head Gaskets
Head Gaskets I am about to do a head swap and i need to know what kind of gaskets to get and also what thickness to get. I have a 232/236 595/601 on a 112+2 cam on a XE-R lobe I am going to put Patriot Ported 232 castings with stock valve sizes. I think stock thickness is 055, so what thickness can I get away with. I would like to run thinner gaskets to up the compression a little. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Thanks
What is the mls type? I am not against decking, I just don't want to have a problem with pvc. Baisically I just want to get compression as high as I can without flycutting.
im wondering the same thing with my heads and cam swap, but ill be running that TR trak cam so i dont think i have and room to mill, but i have heard a lot about cometics head gaskets, but sorry i dont have and idea on the thickness you will need

if you ever plan to spray, use cometic. If not, its really a moot point. I dont remember the last time an LS1 with heads/cam/or stock naturally aspirated came into the shop with a blown head gasket, and ALOT of f bodies come through the shop.
