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. <div>Just wondering what others might be using for head gasket?</div><div>Thanks, </div><div>Brian<br><br><br><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/?.src=iOS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br></div>
