Default 6.0 headgasket
I'm not sure if I'm putting this is in the right place but I needed to get some help on this. I'm running a stock bore 6.0 motor and the guy from the local speed is telling me to use 4.060 bore gaskets, is this to big? It just seems as though the bore is to large to me but I am by no means an expert when it comes to this. Would this be an Ok gasket to run or would there be a better alternative? Thanks for the help.

should be good with a 4.03 bore gasket through the 225s. i think the 235s have to use a bigger bore.

Every blueprint I have seen for the LS engines shows them to be 1.33 mm or .052 compressed thickness. I used to work there.
