I had trouble keeping head gaskets on the hemi from seeping water. Switched to a cometic gasket and it fixed it. Cometics are pricey but i wouldn't run anything else on a hemi.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

Everybody is on the Cometic bandwagon. If your heads have steam holes and they are drilled for the KB pattern, get your head gaskets from KB. Normal ones will work.
