Can anyone here direct me to a supplier for a copper head gasket for my +.065"-bore 225?

I am going to try to O-Ring the head, I think.

If I run 25-pounds of boost like I want to, I don't think the setup we have now will hold.

Any information will be appreciated!

Bill

Thanks, Will. Are the cylinder holes in it round? Some head gaskets aren't.

I want to use as a template to mark my head for O-Ring location/cutting, so, it needs to be round for that.

How big are the diameters of your combustion chambers?

I have talked to them, and I would probably try them, but haven't as yet. So no personal experiance.

They are un-modified as far as I know, Will, so whatever is stock I guess...

Will,

Is there a significant difference in the SCE gaskets over the Clark units? I will order from one of them, but the Clark gaskets are a lot cheaper. I just wondered why you choose to spend the extra money with SCE.
Thanks for any info...

Bill

That was supposed to be directed toward CNC-Dude, not Will. Sorry, CNC-Dude.
