Message	Does anyone have any experience/input on the use of steel head shims vs. a (obviously better) MLS gasket to achieve proper geometry? I am getting ready to put in my order for MLS gaskets and a bunch of other parts but a local machine shop (rebuilding the heads) says that a steel head shim will work just as good. Opinions?
