Three Different Heads - Three Different Problems

[yuckfoo]

Can head gaskets be stacked?

Yes, but it's more than I need. I have a 0.5 mm head gasket. I need one that is 0.6 mm or 0.7 mm. I have a 0.7 mm but it's aluminum.

.6mm=.023"th and .7mm=.027"th
If ya want a head gasket thicker than what is available. I think your gonna have to make your own.
BTW how thick do ya want your head gasket?

I think I'll need 0.6 mm to 0.7 mm. I have a .7 but it's aluminum. I may use that and see what I get but was hoping to find assorted sizes in copper.

Play with both the head gasket sizes/stacking as well as the base gasket.The base gaskets are likely a different size anyways. You might get a combo that'll work.

The base gaskets I buy are from bicycleengines.com. they have the best prices on those.

Yes but messing with the base gasket messes with port timing. I'm not going there. I'm just going to use the thicker aluminum head gasket.
