Hi All,
So it looks like i've blown a head gasket in my LS2. Its mildly modified with a big cam, higgins cnc'd heads, mafless tuned etc. Now my question is, to those that have build modified LS2's what have you used and recommend for head gaskets??? In any perfomance build ive done (mainly supercharged V6's) Ive always used stainless MLS gaskets (ACL Race Series Proseal) with excellent results, however I have heard that the factory machined finish on the LS2 heads and block is not fine enough for a proper seal of aftermarket MLS gaskets and that im better off using the GM MLS???
Are the Genuine ones up to the task of a modified build? That's what its built with now and they've failed after 60k kms (losing coolant out the exhaust).
Thanks,
Chris
