Head Gasket safe removal

[dan filipi]

I don't think Joe has ever reused a head gasket.

I think a lot spray them with Copper Coat which makes them look like copper. I currently have real copper on mine. Kind of nice as they are reusable to a degree. I have had them off and back on twice so far. Cost $65 for the set. So for me, that's a$100 savings so far.

Where did you get copper gaskets?

 

[Nightcorona]

Yes where are they bought. Also i am wondering if i should just leave the old oil for first start since it is going to be changed right away.

I got them from Lani Visconti, Phoenix I think. Here's his email: [email protected]

You can select from different thicknesses. I went with 0.030" thick to boost compression a tad.

I'm not sure if he's done any for a 1000, but as long as you supply the bore, he can make them.

Thanks! Just what I've been looking for!

Good info, thanks Eric.

Seems like a reasonable price :yes:

 

[dan filipi]

I was actually expecting twice that.
He must have a pretty efficient way of making them to make any money doing it.
