Did you have to rebalance anything? I had considered using these myself but held off for these reasons. Former owner of '99 CSVT - Silver #222/2760 356/334 wHP/TQ at 10psi on pump gas!

Federal Mogul makes good stuff, so I'm confident that they are as substantial as they need to be without any unnecessary weight. The crank was polished, and the entire assembly was balanced - DMD, crank, Fidanza, and Centerforce. I'm confident in the shop's knowledge and abilities. This thing is going to be sooooo smooth... Also- Day 3 project pics are up. PLEASE NOTE the oiling differences between the 2.5L and 3L head gaskets!

I think I have some 2.5 and 3l gaskets laying around. I'd gunna take a look. They always look so pretty when there clean Fast Cheap reliable Pick two

The 1995-1998 2.54L head gasket is the only one to have the 2 oil holes. Nominal diameter is 2.25mm. The 1999+ 2.49L head gaskets as well as all three different 3.0L head gaskets have one hole (including the new 3.0L head gasket for ST220 & Mazda 6). Nominal diameter is 3.0mm. If you figure it out, the difference in hole area isn't much. I think you would have been fine either way.
