copper head gasket

Postby gabbyjon » Sat May 29, 2021 1:44 pm

I purchased copper head gaskets to mount my heads on a K model.I see in other topics it is advised to assemble without gaskets.What would be the disadvantage with using them, if any?

It destroys your quench effect, the engine will knock even if very retarded.
Proper piston to head distance @ TDC .035" minimum, anything above .060" is bad.
Don't.
