[QUOTE="EvilTwins, post: 14307876, member: 62345"] No I did see that but I've seen a few different options/opinions and I'm trying to just determine if there is an "agreed upon by the Modular gods" option. Some options I aware of are: - ARP 2000 Head Studs torqued to 110 ft-lbs (already have these so this is happening) - Standard MLS (what I have, unsure of thickness) - MLS (0.030" thickness) - MLS (0.036" thickness) - Soft Copper with SS "figure 8" pattern - Cometic MLS LCE (Load Control Embossment) After reviewing the below sources the copper gasket does seem to be the way to go? I wonder if 110 ft-lbs is too much for the copper gaskets? Is it only MLS + 110 ft-lbs that's advisable, is the extra torque needed with the copper? Are these the right copper gaskets - Made by SCE and dubbed the "Titan"? There seemed to be a couple of very similar part numbers from SCE.
