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......

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