Hey everybody, I haven't been on here for awhile and hope you all are doing great. I have a question about the head gaskets on my 2010 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2. My question is are the gaskets supposed to be like 3 sheets riveted together or did I get bamboozled by rockauto? It's my first time in one of these engines lol.

Oh ok cool! This is the first time I've ever seen gaskets like this so wanted to ask before I go forward with the assembly. All I can say is you all and this site are true life savers to guys like me, thank you so much. I sure miss my small blocks lol

they make these MLS gaskets for sbc too. I have some in my 406 made by cosmetic.

the exhaust gaskets on your kit should be MLS too. they single layer stuff isn't as good.

Engine tech gaskets and parts are probably the most widely used in the engine rebuilding industry. From what I've read over the years, they're just fine for a standard engine rebuild.

You may want to consider replacing the head bolts with ARP bolts while you are in there. Do the same, and even more important, for the exhaust manifold bolts.
