Default L92 Head Gasket and other ???

What are you guys using on the 4.065 L92 block for head gaskets?
Does GM make a MLS gasket, got a part#, bore, thickness?

What is the deck height of the L92 block? 9.24 like all the others?

L92 heads have a 12 degree valve angle, like LS7 ?
Intake rockers are offset, are the rockers all 1.8 ?

LS6 oil pan will work with a 4.00 crank?

Are L92 and LS3 the same block??

THANKS

Default Fel Pro 1161's

I used Fel-Pro 1161 head gaskets.

Rockers are 1.7, intaked are offset, exhaust are same as LS1/6.

My LS1 oilpan worked with a little grinding and spacers for the windage tray.

i used a 4.080" bore .040" thick cometic

L92 or Ls7 head gaskets will work. you need at least a 4.060" bore gasket for sure because of chamber size.

1.7 rockers and exhaust are the same as LS1, LS6.

Ls6 pan will work fine.

Does GM make a L92 MLS gasket? How thick is it?

1.7 with offset intake rockers. That means that my Comp shaft rockers are not going to work.
How high do you rev the GM rockers, anyone run them in any kind of endurance application. I run SCCA 25 minute races. Will the GM rockers hold up to that?

Default Harand Sharpe Mod

I sent my rockers out and had Harland Sharpe replace the bearings. Very nice work.

Katech runs stock rockers, do a search or send them a PM.

OK, so in a racing motor, the GM rocker arms don't break, but the bearings fall out.
If you replace the bearings, you should be good. That works.

I have used Cometic gaskets and they work great, but expensive. I'm looking for a low cost GM alternative.
