what do you guys think about copper gaskets for the cylinder head, intake manifold, and exhaust manifold.

price very on the thicness of the gasket and on ship cost

more info to come, this will start in mid july or maybe sooner

tell me what you guys think thanks

 

ok this is how it may work Turbo Dan aka Dan Topping is my teacher at VC Tech and owner of the worlds bigest supplyer for Honda CX500 and CX600 Turbo bikes.

Turbo Dan as i know him, is starting to supply his consumers with cooper gaskets and i want to do the same for my ka family out there... so just give me some time on it, maybe under $120 that is what the cometic gaskets are i think

 

why pay $120 if i can get it for a smaller cost with the same quality, not saying your wrong. they booth have there advantages and disadvantages

 

this can help http://www.copper.org/applications/r.../cu_steel.html

and this i can see what your talking about http://www.alstromcorp.com/TR02.htm

 

cometics are more like $60

 

cometic seems to have a big foothold as far as KA24 head gaskets go, you can't go wrong with their multi-layer steel (and all cases of coolant leaks with those are due to improper ARP head stud torquing).

the exhaust manifold gasket would sell if it was priced right. i have a mr. gasket one that is like right under $30, but to get it, i had to have discount auto special order it.


is there any chance of him making a phenolic/heat dissipating plastic intake manifold gasket? i've only seen one company way out in west coast making those and theyre hefty priced.

 

phenolic/heat dissipating plastic is way to costly right now, and chrysler used this plastic on there break caliper and they used to swell under heat....

with this supplyer i can get different thicness for the head gaskets

i can maybe sell all 3 gaskets for $100 price very on the thicness of the gasket and on ship cost
