Re: Fel Pro Head Gaskets for ls1--compressed thickness??? According to Fel-Pro the 1041 gaskets are .041-.048. What ever that is supposed to mean. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Those are the big bore gasket so I'm not sure about the other ones.

Re: Fel Pro Head Gaskets for ls1--compressed thickness??? most fel-pro's have a compressed thickness of .041"...which is much thinner than the stock GM's...(think its something like .060"-.070"???)...only way to go thinner would be to go with the comet's or a custom copper gasket as far as i know.

Re: Fel Pro Head Gaskets for ls1--compressed thickness??? Why hasnt FelPro stepped up and made LS1 gaskets plentiful and pushed there info? You have to get them direct from FelPro? That is not good support IMO i am running there stock replacements but i want to be able to get info and availibility from Jegs, etc. Am i wrong? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
