Default Copper head gaskets

Anyone using these for Gen 3's ?

I see them all the time at NHRA events.... many teams re-use them with 7,000HP of nitro...

If you don't mind me asking, how much where those, and were can you buy them? Sponser? Do they make them in different thicknesses? Thanks

$142 and summit now has their part number in their system for at least the 4.060 .043 gaskets. Thanks to me and a conference call between a summit rep and SCE.

Of course anyone that carries SCE gaskets can get them...might have to supply the correct part number for them as these are new for the LS and not many have the updated #s

Casper the 200+ mph 346 runs a o-ringed copper headgasket...

The ICS titan is also very nice.

ZAngel has FlatOut Group's "RCC" rubber coated copper gaskets on her car, they're also at summit and a bit cheaper too

Do you spray these with gunk (sealer) before you install or go up dry?
