LQ9 to L92 Head Gaskets Hey guys, well my question is does anyone know the part number of gasket that I would need because I purchased L92 heads for my GenIII LQ9 6.0. I read that they have to be 4.065 sized gaskets. I got this part #12610046 but dunno if its the right one. All help appreciated...

It's like taking a thicker Gasket and smushing it..it's thinner but the Bore is bigger so you really aren't getting rid of that Compression area that is there.
Thinner Gasket with the small Bore would be ideal.

because the bore is so large, the area that the gasket makes will contribute to compression ratio. idk why you would use a bore size so large on the gasket for such a small bore. there are other gaskets out there that are better suited.
interesting i never realized that bore size of the gasket attributed to cr,
i guess because of my ignorance i could have made a better gasket choice
second question(sorry for the hijack)
how does it affect the quench area?? would it be benefit to run a larger bore gasket to increase the quench but not raise the compression so much??

Quick questions SWEETS10V8 since you did basically the same swap... What lifter trays did you use Stock Lq9 or other ones? I already ordered the 6.2 MLS Headgaskets, 8 Offset Rockers, L92 Heads, LS3 Intake, 92mm Cable driven TB. What else is needed or am I missing? Thanks all appreciated
