Re: headgasket (A.S.I.M.O)
Why do you want to run copper?They work ok in a race application but can be a little finicky sealing water.If you can use a mls gasket than do that.I would only use a copper gasket if there was no other alternative.

well i was told it would be better for my application because i have a 1.3 dohc swift gt running over 20 psi. but i was probably going to turn it down and run around 15-17 psi. if i am running more than 20 then i would do it. but i wanted to know the diffence in thickness'
