Weird, I have a brand new set of both here. 12589226(5.7 MLS) and 12589227(6.0L MLS) both bought a few weeks ago from SDPC. Thunder racing sells them as well

When I ordered my 5.7L gaskets from SDPC last year, I received 6.0L gaskets. After talking to 2 different people at SDPC, they told me the 6.0L gasket part number has superseded the 5.7L part number, since 5.7L weren't produced anymore. Unless they just didn't know what they were talking about.

They didn't know what they were talking about There are definitely still different part numbers for a 5.7L and 6.0L head gasket! And of course, SDPC keeps plenty of all of these on the shelf, ready to ship!

So will you compensate the time for me to remove my heads to use the correct gaskets
