I'm looking for recommendations for head gaskets for my 60hp. Copper, steel, composite? MAC's looks good, any suggestions? Thanks, Marv Stuart, MGTD-V860.

Are your heads Aluminum? Most feel it/s best not to use copper with Al heads.

I have 2 race engines, both with aluminum heads, I have run composite (dry) for 16 years w/ no failures. Torque the alum heads 32-36 ( I "click" at 35#).
Good luck.
