Default 4.100 head gasket?

Who makes a head gasket for these big bores?
Who sells them also?
Is anyone running a custom made copper head gasket?
I can have copper ones made for 100-120 pair.

MTI has a couple different types of custom 4.10" bore gaskets. Give them a call at 281-870-8787

I have some layered metal gaskets on my motor.

are these gaskets (mti's ) good for boosted applications, and do they have them for a 6.0 block?

We have a couple choices in stock. I wouldn't go the copper route. We did that before there were any real gasket options.

Any cons to copper?

What kind of price range are we talking here with these gaskets?

Using Copper you need to o-ring the block or heads. Copper tends to compress requiring several retorques. Copper tends to seep.

I've used copper on race applications, but for street use they are probably more than what most people want to deal with.

A pair of head gaskets will run you about $175 for the basic sizes. I have stock bore and large bore in stock. I can get them in different thicknesses too.
