It was fun blowing your head gaskets Tom!!!! This thing will be a animal in the car with some new gaskets. The gaskets held for 20+pulls before giving up on a 14XXHP pull. Looks like the copper gaskets with all there problems/difficulty are still the ticket.

The block and head are just flat per Cometics design. It was a valiant effort, but the pressure is just too high for the gasket. It might be interesting to try that gasket with a couple of o-rings for back-up, but they are over 400 dollars for the pair, so copper makes more sense at this point.
Steven,what are you using on your engine? And is it still a factory casting?
