Mikes reply:

There was no known metal Piston "O"- rings on the Stock Head gaskets, that were removed from this particular motor, from the factory.

I bought the Head gaskets from Butler Performance and the part number is in the previous posts. They came with the metal surrounding the Piston area, on both sides of the gasket. Once the Heads are pulled tight to the Block, could there be a transference of an acoustical nature between the Head and the Block? Therefore, if the Piston slap already exists in my motor, is this the possible reason that I hear them slap now.
