[Fot] Best head gasket revisited

[Jim Gray]

I use Mordy’s solid copper gaskets, no o-ring, just copper coat.

My current gasket is on it’s second engine.

I was not receiving list emails for a while, so I missed the conversation a few months ago. 

 

For those of you using the composite or even Cometic gaskets, have you done much relieving around the intake valves?  I have not found any such gasket that would not protrude out into the combustion chamber.  I even bought one from BPNW that was good for up to 92mm bore, but it still protruded.  I have been using steel shim head gaskets with copper wire o-rings in the fire rings, but would like a simpler set up.  I have held off on putting my TR3 engine back together for years (while playing with S2000s and Miatas) waiting for a better head gasket.  Joe B
