5.9 Magnum with LA headgaskets? EQ heads?

The issue is the head oiling for the LA heads since it comes up through the block. There may be slight difference in the steam holes punched in.

Right, you don't want to forget about the difference in oiling.

As far as any diff. in steam holes there aren't any with the EQ heads. I read their was a difference and ordered a set of the high dollar Cometic gaskets for mine because they claim they are specially made for magnum style heads (I have EQ's) and when I got them I compared them to a set of Fel-Pro 1008 gaskets and the holes are exactly the same.
