What is the preferred head gasket for a moderate 6.0 build? I am adding 243 heads, long tubes, and an EPS cam to a stock 6.0 lower end. What gasket and how much should I cut my heads to achieve 10.5 to 1 compression?

 

I prefer OEM MLS gaskets, but to get that kinda comp, you might need to run a thinner then stock gasket depending on if its a lq4 or lq9.. Check into commetic

 

Its an LQ4, but the 243 heads have 65cc chambers. I think if I cut .020 off down to 62cc I would be close, but wanted to ask.

 

I like the GM MLS gaskets myself...

 

at 62cc it put you in cr of 10.501:1 with the stock head gaskets , i always run the stock genium gm head gasket but , it up to you ,good luck

 

Good to know, thanks. Should be about right for pump gas I think.

 

just fine iam running 61cc at the moment and it great , but after this weekend iam going to run on 59cc should run a little better! on an lq4
