Default Engine Builders-What head gaskets are you using?

Just wanted to find out what you guys are using.
The last time We rebuilt this engine we used a felpro 17048 marine head gasket.
also any recomendations for aftermarket oil pans.
Its a gen 6 block with world merlin aluminum heads.
Thanks

I ran cometics and just switched to felpros, they look like twins but have a sealer coating.

Which one's better than the other: Cometic MLS or FelPro MLS? I used Felpro's MLS in the 509.

This is a great source for Cometic. Special thickness gaskets can be special ordered too.

Had some problems with some other gaskets, but Felpro solved the issue.
