I have heard mixed reviews about the black onyx's. I say go with the OEM gaskets to be safe. JMO

Yeah I have heard good and bad on the BO gaskets too, but I think they will be fine on my application (well lets hope so). Oh Yeah some more pics of our work

man You really really should have used stockers gaskets. I can show you pics of a failed black onx gaskets that my buddies doing work on right now. It was done by the previous owner and was studded and it still blew them. The heads had been milled as well before to make them flat and it had .30 over pistons so I'm assuming the truck got a full rebuild sometime in the past. Its an 04. Once it was torn apart it was also discovered that the pistons had made contact with the glow plugs as well as valve to piston contact. The truck did not have a tuner either. I really really wouldn't run those gaskets since they failed on a non tuned truck that had the heads done also for flatness. Failed black onx gasket
