they can still leak as well.

MLS gaskets are good, and i think its hard to say that one is better than the other (copper vs. mls)

and its not as good as those titan HG's, i was looking at them in the sumit catalogue today,

there was a guy on ebay that sells it, but he was " out of stock " but we rang him and he conviniently had 2 cans sat in his garage that he was " willing " to sell for a price, robbing ------.

we managed to get all the machining done and its getting taken to a place called conventry balancing on the mainland, the balancing machine weighs 100 tonnes and sits on pots of mercury its used for balancing jet engine assemblies,

some OEMs use MLS gaskets, no OEMs use copper gaskets. I bet there's more to it than the price of copper

Mind you, if you're dealing with such a rare automobile, i'm guessing you're probably familiar with them. They do alot of the ---- no one else supplies. I had a ride in a v8 vantage, can't beat the sound of all 8 carbs laughing at the ozone layer.

Precision milling of both the head and block is the way to go.


Used in some Diesel engines. My Dad worked at Cummins years ago and they had quite a few like that.
