Head gasket

[PAULJ]

Hi all. Can anyone tell me if you can get solid copper head gaskets for A series engines. I only ever use copper gaskets on my bikes. All I can find is tin sandwitch type ones that say they are copper but there not.
Thanks

You would need to make your own 'solid copper' gasket. The 'copper' faced gaskets are fine - just don't use the cardboard one......

I just had a head gasket deliverd that said copper gasket. I asked befor I bought " is this solid copper " and was told yes but its not. Having just emailed the women to complain she has just replied saying "copper gaskets dont exist. Do they, Did they ?

Not solid copper for the A series - unless home made!
