That doesn't look like the MLS CR head gaskets I've seen, that looks like the marine style gasket I put in my 24v. Am I wrong here, and if not whats the reason for that headgasket vs. the MLS version.
 
nice truck and one hell of a engine!i wonder how it will fair in street drag racing, i'm putting all my marbles into your whoo! truck
 
Looking forward to seeing another set of twins with an s510. Everyone's packaging is different and I am sure yours will follow suit considering yours is going in a Ford.

Dude........That is not a MLS CR gasket:doh:

You may have ordered and bought an upper gasket kit for you ESN and delivered it to the shop that assembled your engine, but that is the extent of it. If you had the engine o-ringed, that is why they are using a marine gasket which is what is in the picture. The fire ring on a MLS gasket is not circular like a marine gasket and would not work well with o-rings. The MLS gasket from your gasket kit is either in the shops inventory or in another engine already!! LOL

Hint: If someone asks you a question, and you are not sure of the answer or didn't do the work personally, make sure you convey that in your answer:poke: Cuts down on the "mis-information";)
