since nobody has any tips on that, maybe somebody could answer me this. my head has been o-ringed and i really need my truck but cant get a copper head gasket and rings for about a week. if i was to put a stock head gasket on and take it easy, would it work?

marine head gasket is the best
stock 3283335
.010 3283337
.020 3283339
many run the 20k over for hitting the big boost with o rings.

no, you need another gasket that has been water jet cut and a new set of fire rings.
