Re: solid copper head gaskets
Copper faced head gaskets are readily available, solid copper gaskets, not so much. Today, we are seeing gaskets made of several thin steel layers for very high compression use. The problem with solid metal head gaskets is mating surfaces must be absolutely level. as they don't conform to any defects in the block or heads. Currently, copper is very expensive, so it is unlikely most would opt for the common gaskets.
