What head gasket on a stroker?

[La Ramie]

I’m getting a stroker for my 5.7 with a stock size bore.
I want to run a 10.x:1 compression ratio.

Can I run OEM head gasket? If not, what would be recommended?

I asked the supplier of the kit but no response since a week

The stock 5.7 was 2013.

Hit up the hi-po guys on either High Performance Rams or Tuned Rams on facebook.Better question is what are you using for head bolts.OEM head gaskets and ARP head bolts on my nitrous'd toy,never had an issue in 600 passes and 50,000 miles.

Either I’m going to use ARP studs, based on availability, or Hellcat/Redeye bolts.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a Facebook account.

You'll find the majority of the faster trucks on facebook,not here. Hit up Ryan Hogan of FRP tuning,he was advertizing having ARP studs in stock a few days ago.

I think you'll find the fel-pro or stock MLS 3-layer gaskets will work fine on a stroker. Some go with the cometic 3 or 5 layer, but I'm personally not a big fan of those because it's a bigger quench area. When I consulted with Jay building my stroker he was cool with the stock 3 layer felpro, feels like with your compression ratio it would be acceptable especially if you go with studs.

Summit seems to have both heads and main studs kits.

Call summit and tell them what you are building, what your power goals are, and if you are adding any power adder. See what they say. I found they really know their stuff.
