[Fot] Six head gasket?

[Scott Janzen]

Hi, Brian, 
My GT6 runs about 11.5:1 and I have always run a Payen head gasket - some kind of black composite sandwiched around steel or aluminum, with aluminum(?) fire rings.  I’ve got a fairly high performance engine - 175 HP +/-.
Standard Moss issue.  Never had an issue in ten years.
For the leak issue you have, I’ve found putting Permatex black around the perimeter of the pushrod area on the block and head (both sides of the gasket) solves the problem.  There’s not as much clamping force over there, and mine always used to leak too.  No more!

Any head gasket suggestions for gt6 12:1 motor. Have had chronic oil leak at pushrod side of head. Had same problem with two different heads before this one as well. With a different block.  Current Block is zero deck height and head is cut to achieve the 12:1. 
Just wondering what others might be using for head gasket?
Thanks, 
Brian
