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 never heard of putting a copper and a stock gasket together. I would guess that it might not work because of different expansion rates etc. I have heard of putting two stock gaskets together. If you are having problems, make sure your head is straight. If not, have it surfaced. I use a Cometic head gasket (.067 thick) on my turbo'd B18C. This is over twice as thick as stock.
