I have a 95 z28 with an lt1 bored .030 over and i have aluminium stock heads that have bigger valves (2. and 1.6 stainless steel) so i was wondering if anyone would like to reccomend a head gasket to me? thanks

If it was zero decked then the Felpro might be a good choice, otherwise though probably not. It just gets blindly recommended because it is Felpro rather than because it is right.
To make a good recommendation we need to know the deck height and target compression.
Mr. Gasket/Victor Reinz have a .026 gasket which is good for helping raise compression, would be too thin for a zero deck block.
The stock b-body gaskets are .029.
The Felpro is .039
the stock f-body gasket is .049
Cometic has a .027 with a small bore
SCE has been pretending to soon release a .021(same story as MSD opti and Edelbrock intake, Summit ship date gets pushed back every couple weeks)

Do you have any info on the SCE gasket? Like material/bore ect?

Great info. I was wondering what the actual dimensions were earlier todayOriginally Posted by 96capricemgr

recommended by Ai.

Sent Summit an email on the SCE gasket and they are pretending it is available but special order.
They are a 4.060 bore copper reusable gasket.
I am using the Mr. Gasket but hate the packaging issues, the Victor Rienz seem to be the same exact gasket but individually packaged, cost just a little more but worth it to avoid the packaging problems of the Mr. Gasket.
