Hi, Brian,=20
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=E2=80=99ve 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=E2=80=99ve 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=E2=80=99s not as much =
clamping force over there, and mine always used to leak too.  No more!

Just wondering what others might be using for head gasket?
Thanks,=20
