i think there's still alil headgasket confusion, from what im reading in this thread, you DO HAVE TO MACHINE FOR THE PYRAMID RINGS, but not other machining for the gaskets right?i think a few guys in this thread think you can jus bolt down the hgaskets without the pyramid rings, and go out and lay 25+lbs to the motors

Any better pictures?
What is compressed thickness?
Any issues with them leaking water outward on the engine or anything like that?

What heappens when we need to pull the heads for a freshen up? Do we need to buy a whole new set?

camaroandreas

That is exactly what you do. This is NOT pyramid rings. Cooper gasket has rings that lays on the flat gasket surface. NO machining on the block.

I can take some more pictures tomorrow. I think itīs 1.5 mm compressed thickness. They have never leaked on LS or any other engine. We have sold over 200 of these gaskets and nobody have had any problems.

I resurface the heads every 3:rd time you lift the heads. Then you have to shave them 0.1mm.

you know if you just made a complete post or ad about these and pay a sponsorship fee you would probably sell 50 sets in the first week or two. Everyone wants to buy and you arent providing the info well IMHO

camaroandreas

Where do i email for a sponsorship fee?

now im confused i jus dont see a copper ring or gasket there in this pic, is the ring itself copper? i've seen no other headgasket pic in this thread.

camaroandreas

Not copper. Cooper gasket is the name of it. The loose rings are made of an material that expands with heat. You just put the rings around the cylinder bore and they fit perfect in the gasket that seals water/oil. No glue is needed..

ohhhhh lol, sorry for the mix up then neat gasket setup no doubt!!

So is there a lip on the bottom of the ring, that fits down in the bore to seal it to the block?

Lets see if this is easier to explain.

The graphite gasket is used to seal the coolant and oil passages

This gasket has a very specific dimension for the ring, if its a 4.03" bore gasket the graphite has probably a 4.13" diameter.

Now the ring is 4.03" inside, 4.13" outside (or something like that) and will sit on top of the block, with the gasket firmly holding it centered over the bore. It physically cuts into the block/head so there is no gasket which could fail sealing the combustion chamber

thats amazing gotta love the ls series

i think the gaskets are a great idea.
but i would like a further explaination info on how exactly they work and are installed correctly.
-correct-/available bore sizes and compressed values.
prices shipped for pair,etc

camaroandreas

You nailed it! But itīs a flat surface towards the block. It only cuts into the head. And the rings are made of material that expand on heat. So itīs the heads can lift a bit without anything happens.
