I had the 93 convertible in for a cooling system flush new hoses and belt, now I have a leak that appears to be coming from the driver side rear head gasket. I added a can of Bar’s leak as suggested by 101 projects for your corvette still leaking so it looks like a head gasket job. My question is what type or brand of gasket should I use this car is a weekend driver and is stock no added performance parts and I would like to keep it that way. Do I need to replace the bolts as well and who do you suggest.
The ones I have looked at are:

I used the FEL-PRO 1074 and APR 134-3601 bolts.

I also recommend Fel Pro. Have the heads check for warpage and cracks while you have them off, could save you time, money and frustration later.

Thanks guys I will look for the FelPro 1074 but what is the difference from the ones I listed and is there a problem with the EDELBROCK.

I've always used the felpro, just because.

Don't forget intake gaskets, some intake gasket sets have the rtv you need with them.
Others don't.
You will need the permatex sealant to use with the head bolts.
