Default Laser Cut Custom Gaskets

Does anyone have a source for laser cut custom made gaskets made of rubber and/or neoprene?
Thanks for any leads or ideas.

That's a good idea for basic gaskets. Any source for instruction files? Wouldn't be hard to make however and would lend the process to custom sizes. The lazer cut machines are fairly cheap now, but not cheaper then a gasket pack. Head gaskets are a different animal all together.

Yup, it would be a Continental or a Lycoming.

Is the guy planning to use the engine in a aircraft?

If you have drawing files there is laser cutting service online Sendcutsend.com. I used the service a few times and I was happy with the results.
