Sandwich style head gasket?
Has anyone ever heard of using a stock head gasket and a copper one together in order to get the copper one to seal. From what I hear you use the copper gasket like you normally would but you put a stock head gasket on top to the copper one (between the copper gasket and the head itself) to get the copper one to seal. Or possibly use two stock head gaskets and the copper one, on both sides of the copper one. Anyone have any experience with this gasket trick or have any other tricks to get a copper head gasket to seal on a single cam running boost?

I have been using a 92'-95' CIVIC Metal Composite on mine (three thin layers of metal rivited togather), I am only boosting to 6psi tho. Used another one couple weekends ago when I did my Mini-Me swap, and is still holding.

Damn that would get expensive really fast. Stock headgasket on my GSR is like $70... imagine two of those plus a copper gasket...
