   Hi guys,
   
   As you know im doing my conversion, the head on my vts got rebuilt when with the previous user so chances are it has been skimmed.
   
   What head gasket sizes would you suggest I use? I'm putting in a 2mm decomp plate which should bring it down to about 8:8:1

   I have heard that you can use two standard head gaskets. But if you want to no what size to use you could phone GMC and ask them. As that is what i am going to do when i get the rest of my parts.
