head gaskets

i'm goen back together with my old motor and need a .050 copper gasket on it.i noticed my old .042's were leaking a little water in a few places before so i thought i'd ask what you all use.i spray them with copper coat on both sides and did'nt notice any leaks until i pulled the heads.thanks

You can fill the groove with a copper wire, and yes the Cometics can be reused.

Lem's the man to get with on the Cometics btw..............

..or people's mom's asses.............

Sorry to jump onto the post , but whilst people are talking head gaskets , I am at a loss on what to use on mine .

C and C aluminium block , Boss heads , 14.5:1 compression 572 , alcohol. No nitrous or blowers.

Kaase says Cometic's , some say O-Ring and copper , some say SCE Titans and some say the good old felpro 1028's?

1028's are obviously the cheapest . Will they work or has someone had bad experiences with them?

Kaase knows what he's talking about. The cometic (MLS) multi layer steel stuff is definetly much simpler than o-rings.

,

un less someone shows up with a block already o ringed and can not aford to deck it i use fel pro, no problems, on on my hemis,and others wedge etc, 14 to 16.to 1

1028 is a good gasket, .042, and a 1099 .051 is better for a larger bore

the last 2 15.5 to one engines receved 1028's, go lean and i dont care what gasket you have t will hurt it

I know Jon Like's Miller LIGHT, he can't handle the regular stuff so he also does jello shots. Okay I'd better stop, I'm just BS'ing. I've had Mike's hard lemonade (I like lomonade and it tasted pretty good) Bud Light, and nothing else really. Those were just sips, I did have more than a sip less than a 1/4 of bud once. Kids I know have done some nasty stuff, I'll wait till I'm 21 to have a full beer. And I probably will drink on good occasions.

So how about those head gaskets?

I wasn't drinkin' when I inquired about the pics............................

If and when i drink beer it aint no miller lite crap..............gotta be strong and dark...........imported in most cases.

Other than that its just plain old whiskey with a splash of coke for "color".

Guinness or GTFO!
