Copper head gaskets?
i have a d16a6 that's turbocharged and i've been looking at copper head gaskets here recently. They're not a whole lot more expensive than an OE gasket and i hear they are reusable?
Is any of this true? should i spend $13 more on a copper HG over an OE?

Re: Copper head gaskets? (SOUNDEFFECTS)
stay away from copper..you hardly EVER hear of anyone using it, let alone with success....the only time copper would be a good choice is if you have all the block o-ringed with SS rings around the cylinders, and ive even heard of people ringing around all the coolant/oil passages too.
and about reusing a copper HG..i think thats total BS..once the copper compresses, its not going to go back to its original thickness...
