Have had my blocked O-ringed looking for a good head gasket that will work with this...

Have a blower...

Have heard copper is good, but only if you have a high compression engine...mine is high, but only part of the time.

Have also heard copper suffers from fluid seepage...

Have heard you can use Fel-pro 8548pt2 graphite head gaskets, only problem I see is you have to flip one upside down so it work with the water holes running from small in the front to large in the back. But then on the upside down one the fire ring over laps the engine O-ring. I see an article in MM&FF this month where they are using this type of head gasket with the "331 Ways to Waste an LS1 article".

Has anyone had any success with this head gasket or know anyone that I can call and talk to about it?

Thanks
