nope- nothing matching my bore

I have contacted H-T's sponsored Eagle MFG and Cometic reps but they havent been helpful really, guess they dont want the business?

I am going to try calling FLATOUT group tomorrow and see if they have one/can make one.

But in the meantime im looking for leads....

right, my old gasket was SCE, but they only sell 82.55mm bore, can that be used with an 81mm bore block?!

Bump! Help!

i have to use a copper HG, my head has stainless steel orings machined into it...

thanks for the lead

*edit*
Looking at the link now i see it only has MLS gaskets. If im not mistaken MLS = Multi-Layered-Steel so if thats the case NONE of those gaskets will work...

dude, you spray it copper. http://www.cometic.com has what you need (MLS). are you sure you had a copper HG? Usually you have a MLS headgasket with copper orings. I dont think you'll find a copper for honda if they do make them.

yes it was copper. Please dont post if you dont know what your talking about.

MLS != copper

And yes, they make copper headgaskets for hondas.
