I used Fel-Pro on my rebuild, everything is good so far. I don't have the pn# but its readily available. Same gasket set as the n/a.

I'll be using copper, but for a close to stock build, I'd either use Fel-pro or the GM replacement gaskets. Just make sure what thickness you are getting, can't remember the stock thickness, but I'm sure JeffM has posted it 20 or 30 times.

You used same thickness as STOCK? They are supposed to be thicker by like .1" or so?....

I did not realize that there was a thickness in the gaskets from stock to Felpro.. Everything seems to be fine thus far.. does this mean that I have lowered the compression, what does this mean ?

nO tHE fELpROI ONLY HAVE THE N/A 3.1 (VIN T) set. It list the 3.1 NA gasket for the Turbo 3.1... You did not lower the compression.. you raised it.. And the might cuase your engine to KNOCK more.
