Sorry to hijack this, but who sells those 1mm copper gaskets wreck, I am looking a long time now, but can not find them.

Thanks Edgar

Hi Edgar , I cut them out of a sheet of copper ,just used a jigsaw to rough them out ,then slowly with a linishing belt and a sanding flapper wheel in a drill . It took about an hour a gasket .

That's really good ,not a hint of a leak. I'll be the cylinder heights when installed in the case are perfect. I spent a very long time getting my cylinder heights right.
Wonder how it would fair with a turbo on it

Whooo, that is labor intensive, nice..
Was hoping you bought them somewhere

Thats very nice, Wreck! Did you cut chambers in the heads for the gasket? Or dp you use them as additional deckheight?
Thanks!

Just additional deck height Mark . 0.003 " deck plus the 0.040 gasket . The. engine has spun over 7000rpm , no marks on the pistons from touching the heads . Even with the carbon build up . (oil from guide wear) .

Very Nice Wreck. Good to see that this solutiin worked out good for you! Did you also re-torque the heads every x km?

No re-torque but I didn't use the factory torque . 30ft/lbs is what I went with .
