LS9 Heads Gaskets and '97-'03 LS Head Bolts for 4.8L 5.3L 5.7L 6.0L Engines

The 1997-2003 LS9 Head Gaskets and Bolt Kit includes two sets of early-style head bolts, with 8 long and 2 short bolts per head. Prior to 2004, GM's Gen3 and Gen4 small-block engines had head bolts of varying lengths, but in 2004, they changed the design to a shorter single-length style. It is crucial to ensure that the bolt style matches the requirements of your vehicle before placing an order.

The kit also contains LS9 head gaskets, which are considered the best gasket choice for most LS engine builds. These multilayer head gaskets are designed for the LS9 engine, but they can also be used with 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2 engine blocks.

The LS9 Performance Multilayer Head Gasket features a 4.100" bore and a compressed thickness of .055". These seven-layer gaskets are known as the best option for engines up to 4.100" in bore size, making them an excellent choice for turbo, nitrous, and supercharged engines.

In summary, the 1997-2004 LS9 Basic Head Gaskets and Head Bolt Kit includes two LS9 head gaskets and the necessary head bolts for both heads. The performance multilayer head gaskets can be used with a variety of LS engine blocks, and they are widely regarded as the best option for high-performance applications.
