The oem MLS gaskets are best... they don't break down.

I believe its the same gasket that used on LS1 camaros and Firebirds.
When i installed my LGs the gaskets matched up with the same part number for'em.

Local autozone, oreilly's, and another quicky type shop all had em in stock.
I think it was an 01 year i had them look for.


almost 4 months (they are MLS gaskets ) and zero problems.
