5.3 LM7 head gasket questions
Hi,
Im trying to source some head gaskets for my 2006 LM7 5.3. Im looking for a slightly thinner set. I don't want to put the factory .051 thickness back in. I want to just slightly increase compression without milling the heads.
Ive found several .040 gaskets from cometic, but I cannot find weather or not it will fit my engine. Can anyone give me some advise?
This is that I'm looking at right now. https://www.briantooleyracing.com/co...d-gaskets.html
I would think I would just pick 3.9 bore, and .04 thickness. Will this work for me?
Thanks
josh
