Head gasket help
I've got a 6.0 iron block with 4.030 bore and 1/2" studs. What GM mls gaskets can i use? I have a set of gm part number 12610046 and they do not clear these studs. i have to thread each stud through the gasket and then hammer them through to the threaded portion (of the block) then go about tightening the studs. I was told this is normal, but it damn sure doesnt seem right.

I'm not trying to argue because I have no real experience with the 1/2" studs, but I did look into it.

Make sure when you get them that the part number on the gaskets are the same as the bag. There have been recent instances with incorrectly packaged gaskets. Ask me how I know...
