    Another Note: My heads are good, they aren't warped I had them checked out.

    I was wondering what kind of gaskets y'all recommend me get.

    A link from Summit Racing would be desired (:

    Thanks!
    WHEN YOU INSTALL THE GASKETS,ARE YOU MAKING SURE YOU ARE TORQUing THEM TO SPECS AND ALSO ARE YOU MAKING SURE YOU DO THE CORRECT SEQUENCE. I START OUT AND TORQUE THEM AT 50 AND THEN 60 AND FINALLY 75 AND THEN I WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND RETORQUE THEM ,,(AGAIN)CLOCK WORK YOUR WAY OUT,FROM ALSO DID U CLEAN THE SURFACE PERFECT,,, THERES IS NEVER TO MANY TIMES TO CHECK THIS OUT,,THIS MUST BE ALL THE SAME (YOU MUST USE TORQUE WRENCH)
    THIS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM ,IF YOU DID NOT CLEAN AREA....
