thicker gaskets?

Im looking for thicker intake gaskets..anybody have some part numbers for felpro ones. Im trying to trace why the new motor burns oil. I know the heads have been decked once...not sure if my engine builder did it again or not (if thats possible). But i am using stock gaskets and ive done it four times now and it never seals leak free so...

If the heads were decked, you should also cut the intake to maintain the proper geometry for the seal.

U can try thicker gaskets, it always doesnt work depending on the amount cut and the remaining angles.

Try using a product called Gaskasinch?(think i spelled it right) crap seals stuff up wonderfully.

later
