Default Ls9 head gasket

I can't find ls9 head gaskets that have the same bore as a stock 5.3l.

What ones are you guys using? Any one have a link or a part number.

Thanks

they dont have the same bore as the 5.3L, reason why its meant for a ls9 head, hopefully this helps you out?

Yep, they are meant for a larger bore than the 4.8/5.3 but they still work wonders. Buy them, install some ARP studs, and you'll be good to go.

Im guessing that the difference in bore size of the gasket doesnt affect anything like the thickness would?

It creates a cavity and possible hotspot, but for the most part they work well.
