Ok

i am back trying to get some buyers for the custom copper head gaskets im getting made. I have more info.
stock head gasket is .038" thick
these custom copper ones will be .043" thick. Price is expensive at $130 per set. I think he'll do $120 tho. If any of you guys might plan to go all out in the future, please buy now so i can get these started up. its been a long 12 months of building my motor and i hope i can finish it this year!. Thanks later

Do these head gaskets do anything with compressions? Also, I probably wont be building my engine up until late next summer. Would it be better if I got the head gasket now?

Thanks.

yes its better to buy now cause if no one buys they wont make them. Im not gonna pay $400+ for one set of head gaskets for myself.

compression? i assume it will lower compression slightly cause the copper one is thicker then the stock one.

hum, not much to keep posted. I need buyers, if no buyers then he wont make them, if he doesnt make them, then we wont have copper head gaskets for the Maxima. SprintMax, maybe you can find some NOS users to buy these head gaskets??? thanks so much!

Keep in mind sprint, this is good for all the S/C guys who want to run high boost. Not only that, but thats usually the first thing to go when an engine blows.

I think I might take one, but it porbably wont be until later this summer. Let me know some more info.

Thanks.

I'll talk to my father this weekend, and I'll let you know. BTW, do you have a Turbo Timer? I'm doing the group deal for the HKS type 1 (built in Gtech) for only 90+shipping!!

Talk to you later,
Mike
