Re: What is the thickness on stock GM head gaskets? ~.053" on the '98-01 graphite gaskets. The newer MLS are a bit thicker.

Re: What is the thickness on stock GM head gaskets? So with these gaskets from TPIS am I suppose to gain half a point of compression or not?.050 to .053.My heads are 5.7 heads also sorry for not mentioning.
