head gasket dramas
I think my head gasket is gone, my radiators bubbling.
just wondering if it is a good idea to put in a copper decompression gasket?
what would be a good thickness for, running no more than 10psi on a standard B16A.
or would it just be better getting a copper gasket made to standard thickness?

Re: head gasket dramas (MatT3T4)
I wouldn't go with a copper headgasket on a stock sleeved motor. I tried one on an LS motor with ARP headstuds and it developed a leak a couple hundred miles later. Now that i remember, i think the manufacturers of copper headgaskets recommends having your block o-ringed. Stick with an OEM headgasket and call it a day.
