Default head gaskets

Are these head gaskets OK? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...p-20/ref=nosim They seem to be the best I could find at a local parts store.


Thanks

That's Felpro's stock LTx replacement gasket. It'll work. The one a lot of us use is the 1074. It has modifications that are supposed to improve cooling performance and is the one that is .039" compressed thickness.

Default thinner

I used graphite coated ones with the aluminum heads
they are also thinner for more compression
