About The Recommended Copper Head Gasket:

[Hal the Elder]

Is the Copper head gasket thinner than the stock NE gasket, giving a slight "milled head" effect?

If not, then what is the advantage?

Thanks...
HAL

Hi Hal & Oscar,

The copper gasket is thicker .020", whereas the original is .010". The main advantages of the copper head gasket are better heat dissipation, and it can be re-used after the head bolts work loose.

Do you want more information from me or additional comments about head gaskets used on the new edition Whizzers? Do you want actual test information on different types of head gaskets.

Have fun,
