[Land-speed] Copper head gaskets

[Chris R Harris]

Tom,  Don't know about ICS copper gaskets but just tried a similar pair of Titan brand copper gaskets with all the usual 
plastic embossing round the various water holes etc.  Block decks and head surfaces all perfectly machined but once 
engine was filled with water it dribbled out every where despite 100 ft - lbs torque.  Very disappointing.  Switched to 
Cometic gaskets, worked perfectly.  (super charged engine).
Speaking to others later, none in favour of copper gaskets, strikely 60's technology considering what's available in 
head gaskets today.
