I need help (Ellis or Mark)
I posted this in the internal engine thread but i haven't been getting the answers i need so i thought i'd try the good ol' NW section. Anyway, im doing a H/C project for my car an i need to get gaskets, problem is i don't know where to get the ones i need. I ordered a set of Stage 1 LS6 heads from Patriot an they told me to use the gm graphite gaskets at .041 compressed thickness-(im raising the CR to 10.7:1) i then find out that GM doesn't make this thickness of gasket. So i thought i'd go with cometics but they don't have the bore size i need to match my heads-i need 3.905, I also need to know what other gaskets i need to do a heads and cam swap. does anyone know of a kit i can get with all the gaskets i need including the head gaskets? thanx in advance

I'm using the Cometics, but my bore is 4.0......I really don't know off hand. Sorry!
I will say you don't "need" to replace the factory rubber gaskets on LS1s. I usually replace the water pump gaskets just because, but other than head gaskets you should be OK using the old ones again (provided they look good - not torn, etc)
