Solid Copper head gasket
02/25/09 at 12:11:53

I am rebuilding an 87 engine and resent the out of line cost ($25) for a one use head gasket ... I have contacted a manufacturer of solid copper reacing head gaskests who will manufacture one for $20 plus shipping and I can order one .062 thick so can actually take some of the wear lengthening of the cam chain while I am at it ... should prove interesting and I can can also re-use it, if I take the top end apart for service or experimentation ... just thought I would let you guys would like to know .. this is how we use to do racing engines when I grew up.

I am just placing the order today ... I had to send in my old head gasket for a patttern and pay the original $20 set up charge for programming the NC machine ... the owner said if one buys 3 or more the price is $14 plus shipping ... I will let you all know what the product looks like when I get it and will test it in the rebuilt engine I have to hand ... if it works well maybe we can put together a group order and all save a some money, I certainly plan to get a 2nd one when I figure out what thinkness I like for my 2002 which is currently at 7100 miles and I expect will need some engine work on the next 2 years.
