Head Gasket Help
Just finished a 408 forged with a 6.0l block and Ported LQ9 Heads. The heads cam with a "O"-ring around the cylinder. My builder used a copper gasket and I have a couple of small coolant leaks.
What type of head gasket should I be using?
Thansk in advance

For an o-ringed head and/or block the Felpro is the best for the street. Call Chad at Xtreme... he should have the 6L Felpro part number or perhaps you can order them through him. FWIW, Copper head gaskets are NOT good for street applications.

Thanks ... Everyone ... My builder told me to ditch the head casting and look elsewhere. I was hoping for a solution without spending extra $$ into a bigger problem even than this.
