Through a series of unfortunate cooling events I blew the head gaskets on my newly repaired B3000... sigh. In any event which would be a more forgiving gasket for a 25 year old block? The composite gasket offered by Mahle or the MLS gasket offered by felpro? I've cleaned and checked the flatness of the block and its good within .002 in, but every little bit helps. I'm also planning to do an engine flush using evaporust to fully ensure that I get all the rust out of the block. Any thoughts on that? I'm pretty sure that what caused my overheat condition was clogged coolant channels to the head due to rust.
