    Those look like a really good design, only issue is that they only offer them in stock thickness. it is fairly common for people to drop to an .052 to gain a little bit of compression, and that is not achievable with these gaskets.

    Well I personally am not interested in increasing the compression at this point. I just want to get a set of heads and have some work done to them and would like to make sure I get a good high quality set of gaskets.

    If you read up on them more you'll read they are GREAT.....if you had your block o-ringed. They can't be used otherwise.

    Yeah, exactly. I was really curious about those. They had been in the for sale section for a long time and I was wondering why in the world no one was picking them up.

    Your information about being O-ringed and some conversation with UR LOSN and I can kinda understand why now. So I'll pass on them.
