L98: which FelPro head gasket?

Hi folks,

I've read a lot of threads concerning the head gaskets and got different opinions what gasket to use...

Now I want to replace the head gaskets of my 1989 L98. What I got from the parts dealer here in Germany is a FelPro composite gasket 7733-PT2.

My question is: is this gasket ok or should I use another (better) one (steel gasket)?



Jens


btw.: 2 of the intake valves...

That should work, or Fel-Pro 1003.

The valve on the right is the better one, if you are replacing them. It is lighter and will probably inhibit airflow a bit less.
