    Difference in gasket kits

    I recently have seen alot of ''Eristic gasket'' sets on ebay listed for 00-01 chevy 5.3l engines. I'm wondering if this gasket kit is the same as one for a 6.0L, I bought a set of new MLS GM 6.0L gaskets from TSP, and i was hoping to fill in the rest of the gaps with one of these cheaper eristic gasket sets. I figure all of their non compression holding gaskets should be fine, i just didnt want to skip out on good head gaskets.

    so. can i use the 5.3l gaskets kit to build my 6.0L?
    the only thing i'll change will be the MLS head gasket in place of the eristic 5.3l head gasket.

    I would go straight to the dealer. If they are a little too high on price, I have installed the metal Felpro head gaskets from O'Reilly's and they look the EXACT same as the OEM head gaskets.

    its a matter of spending 500 dollars vs 200 for cheap gasket set and the 85 i spent on gm 6.0l MLS head gaskets
