Hey everyone, I am installing a new head gasket on my v6 and the new felpro head gasket is twice as thick as the original steel one. The new one measures 0.060 and the original steel one measures 0.024, you can also see the bore is larger. Can I still use this head gasket? What's everyone's experience with this? Thanks in advance

Take the part number for the Felpro gasket and go on line with them to check the application.

Pretty normal. The replacement head gaskets are usually twice as thick.
