so question about that RA stuff and MLS gaskets
im doing head gaskets this down season on my boat as preventative maint., not plan on pulling the motor so the block wont be getting decked or machined, checked to make sure its not warped and just cleaned up. the heads will get machined. does that mean i shouldn't use a MLS gasket as i could run into sealing issues?
i was planning on going with a cometic C5333-30 on a mild boosted 502. should i be looking at a fel pro instead?

I've used the Felpro MLS gaskets for 4 different builds without paying attention to any particular RA and haven't had ANY issues..

Maybe I just got lucky OR they're really forgiving.. Not sure which..
