Are LS9 head gaskets available? Anyone know how thick theses are?
Are these available yet?
I've seen a few articles reference LS9 gaskets being thicker than the LS7 gaskets. This is supposedly to help absorb slight head lifting. Depending on the article, the gaskets are either 4-layer or 7-layer composition.
Seven layer references:

Four layer references:
