ok, so i'm dropping in my new engine. i need to find a copper head gasket, so i don't blow this one. i'm sure you've been asked before, but i searched for a while and found nothing but ones for$150..... price doesn't matter as much as security to my investment to me right now... so, if you could help, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks...


mostly STOCK...not for too long '99 Cavy

I wouldn't get a copper one, they leak no matter what you do. Get a cometic MLS, either from http://www.ryne.com/storefront or from http://www.jtuners.com

copper gaskets are cool, but if you don't want to have to worry about O-ringing your block / head then invest in the Cometic MLS gaskets from JTuners.

yea..... if you like to throw them.......

On the 2.4s they suck, cause you have to pull the cams off to retorque them...... on the 2.2/2200, you just pull the rocker cover off....... lol

besides, copper gaskets are alot more work.......... and the cost is more (after paying for the gasket, orings, having the block or head oringed) then the MLS gasket.

^^ Werd. I find the Cometic gaskets to be of higher quality anyways.
