I ran FelPro blue gaskets stacked with .018" FelPro copper shim gaskets. I can dig up the part number for them if you're interested. I used copper gasket sealant (I think it was felpro too). This brought the pistons to around zero deck. With over 12:1 compression never had a failure in many passes at the strip plus a few street miles. This was with stock head bolts and production C9 heads. ------------------
