No, I do not. I didn't see the head gasket until later. I think you have it figured out. Put it on the list if you have to tear back into it.

you will be fine. They are 4.10 and you are 4.030. The compressed thickness of the 9333 is .47.

ok....well im at a toss up?....with your info and from what i read on the net,the 9333s hold up well with boost,this tuner told me to go with the cometics?!.....i like the fusable link idea also if things dont go well,but i dont want him to blame the head gaskets and say i told you so!?
Listen I wouldn't do the cometic deal . 1 if the block and heads aren't prepped right for the gaskets you'll have issues . 2 like you said the fusible link . Felpro makes and MLS gasket as well I have them on my car

Trust us man. We've been there many times. You are doing this rebuild not your tuner. The cometic gaskets need a certain RA vs. a non cometic gasket. The 9333pt1's will be fine. This is the same tuner that **** up your tune which caused the HG to blow and now is telling you to put on cometic gaskets, but is not helping you out. I wouldn't put much into what he says.
I cannot stress enough to get all the surfaces surgical clean and dry.
Do not lay into the boost until you have a good tune in place-from a different tuner.
im talking with another tuner now and he recomended the cometics also,but im using the 9333s
im not using cork gasket just a bead of the right stuff?....do i still need to seal it?.....not sure exactly what you mean?
im talking to another tuner now,he also recomended the cometics,but im using the 9333s....i wish it was the other way around but like i said,i trust you guys more than these tuners!...

also see some vertical lines?....how bad the is this?
take your finger nail and if you cannot catch the scratch line then you are ok. Could be a ring catching due to boost.
Tops dry . Lowers go through water jackets on Stock block

lower bolts get thread sealer on the threads. Upper bolts get assembly or moly lube on the threads that you attach the nuts to.. All bolts get assembly/moly lube under the washers and nut heads. You thread the bolts in hand tight and then snug them in.
