[Fot] Six head gasket?

[Bill Dentinger]

I am almost sure that Ken Gillanders used to sell us gaskets that had a grove pressed in them for that copper wire.  It worked slick.

Lay some small diameter copper wire around the area you want to seal and th deal is over. I used Gasket Cinch to hold the wire in place on the head.

Never be beaten by equipment.

Bob’s right. I have a 1” and a 1/2” vent on the valve cover, and my rear main seal leaks have stopped.The head still seeped, though, so i still vote for some permatex

 Hi - My vote is for venting. Add more vents!!! Oil pushes out because of pressure in the block. Give the pressure somewhere to go and either you get less leaks or no more leaks (depending on the state of the engine).
I think Kas covers this pretty well in one or more of the books.
;-)
By way of example, I run two 1/2" vents in the valve cover and one via the fuel pump blanking plate, so three total. I also run PCV and a Goodparts oil separator. As long as I keep the revs under 6000, the oil getting pushed out seems to be very small indeed, maybe a few teaspoons per session.
There's a common misconception about what gaskets do. They do not relieve pressure and that's why you're pushing oil. Get rid of the positive crank case pressure and "Bob's yter unKle".

 Any head gasket suggestions for gt6 12:1 motor. Have had chronic oil leak at pushrod side of head. Had same problem with two different heads before this one as well. With a different block.  Current Block is zero deck height and head is cut to achieve the 12:1. Just wondering what others might be using for head gasket?Thanks, Brian
