You can't run a 4.06" bore gasket on a 4.065" bore. I'm pretty sure they make a 4.08" bore gasket which would work fine for you application. Would you just call a sponsor already and have them build it for you? LME perhaps?

they make MLS similar to stock and copper gaskets. unless you are doing FI or nitrous I wouldn't worry too much about it. its nice to get the quench you want by selecting the right thickness though.

Cometic is the most popular LS1 brand because they offer you just about any size or thickness you want. No other gasket company offers what Cometic does, and they are a great gasket as long as you have a "true" surface for them to mount to. If your deck or head is more than .001-.002" out, you will probablly get a leak.

The stock mls gaskets are basically nearly the same as a cometic but the normal shelf Cometick is a lil over 4.100 bore and .051 thick so it will work too depending on the deck that you end up with. It would be nice to use a GM gasket though as they are usually much cheaper.

V6 Bird, you know what little troll, **** you! I don't know what your problem is, but stay the **** off my threads if you can't provide any help. I understand you've been helpful in the past, but whatever crawled up your *** and died, sorry. Don't take it out on me that you went off on some head porter last week and you got hammered for it, so you try to redeem yourself by trying to make me look like a fool. I have questions. This is a ******* forum board, which include, claims, findings, questions, discussions, etc.
Now back to my thread...
Thanks everyone for your help. I really appreciate it. I'll have my engine builder get with Cometic and set something up.

RUn the GM MLS 7.0 gaskets if your running a 4.060+ bore if you want somehting durable. If your running something smaller run the 6.0L truck
The 6.0L truck can be run on the L92s but does slightly shroud the head a wisker
