 1. OEM style gasket

2. OEM style gasket with copper wire in liner groove

3. Steel shim gasket with copper wire

4. Steel shim gasket w/out any wire.

5. Copper gasket with steel wire in head groove.

6. Cometic gasket

Gasket dressing varies

We have done most all with reasonable success....except Cometic.

Surprised at limited number of responses..... and the variety of solutions.

Perhaps gasket sealing is a non issue or everyone is busy changing head
gaskets.

It appears that OEM style is understandably the most forgiving, but concern
remains that it might not work well with the typically modified head.

I suppose we should assume that all surfaces and assemblies are in spec.

I'd like to see a Cometic and try it...we have one on order but will not
receive it in time for this engine assembly.

Anyother comments.....??
