interchangeable head gasket?

[StNick89]

so i am wondering if anyone would know if there is a good metal head gasket from something else like an air compressor or something like that, that would work for an 80 cc pexmor motor? if so would you have a part number? see i work at advance auto parts and have oh maybe 2-3000 gaskets i could go through but am really hoping to not have to do that .

As far as I know there is no "off the shelf" substitute for the typical 49cc/66cc("80cc") engines. There are a lot of companies out there that sell metal head gaskets for them, or you can download the gasket pattern and print it out as a template to make your own with some annealed copper sheet.

You can get some thin copper and make one

Howzit Everyone, Making your own Copper Head Gaskets saves a lot of money$ and now you can match the combustion chamber exact. Cutting and drilling thin copper sheet takes some thought and skill. I'll explain in order what works for me and the basic tools I use. I use .016 th" thick copper sheet...

So, a similar question. If I buy a copper gasket from “Bicycle Engine” website or other for a head gasket. Are they all the same generally as far a size for all these bicycle engines? Is it the stroke length that determines the CC’s for each engine. I want to replace the head gasket. I’ve torqued the acorn nuts, still a leak. Replaced the acorns with lock type nuts and torqued them to 12ft lbs. still a leak. This is a brand new engine (not even 1 tank of gas).
