Re: [Amc-list] Copper Header Gaskets

[Davis Martin <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would have to say you do not do much hi performance.  Do some research,Copper head gaskets have been arround for a LONG time. And it is a bad idea to over torque your fastners. Easy way to stress the bolt and or cause failure. When you torque a bolt you are actually streching it. This is why iot is not reccommended to reuse headbolts many times.

Header Gaskets? Different ball of wax. If they aren't crushed and appear
fairly 'intact', and the surfaces which 'mate' to it are unchanged (as
opposed to, say manifold FLANGEs which could 'reset' depending how they are
tightened, reusing the gasket ought be fine. When I reuse a gasket I'm most
likely to add a few extra ft-lbs (or inch-lbs depending where the
application is) of torque to assure good seating. And most often, the
outcome is none the worse for it.
But Copper Head gasket? Do these exist?

ones. Thanks.
