Can anyone list the common LS1 head gasket thickness's? I have heard Fel Pro gaskets are no good? I find this very hard to believe, they pride themselves in being the best, i would like to know details of their failures.Any input is much appreciated.

How about new M.L.S. Gm gaskets?

 

The Fel-Pro's do have a stainless steel fire ring. They look just like the old school SBC and LT1 gaskets.

 

Thanks
