MLS Gaskets

while i absolutely don't recommend it, i've seen people do it and i've certainly done it as a last resort in unique situations.

can it be done, yeah. should it be done? i'd say not worth the risk of having to do the job twice or possibly damaging the motor if one lets go at an inopportune time.

if you do wind up going ahead with it, don't expect them to last a long time.

I hear you, and am normally of the same mind. This block had been severely decked so required an extra thick gasket for piston clearance. Although not a custom size gasket, even off the shelf from summit they were around $240 each.
I had hoped since it basically failed at break in they might not have developed a memory in them
