Good morning Amici, I'm soliciting opinions on using a copper head gasket on the recessed block of the GT6. I don't want to shave the block to get the smooth deck so I'm pondering the effects on the

It probably won't seal well since there will not be any protrusion on the gasket to fit into the depression. If you can't get rid of the depression, it's probably better to use a composition gasket

Why not just use an original Payen head gasket? - OK up to +.040". At +0.060" the inner fire ring can touch the piston crown. To improve sealing, polish off the lacquer with superfine Scotchbrite, th

If fitting +60 pistons to a recessed block then it is best to chamfer the tops of the pistons to stop them hitting the head gasket - been there - done that, makes a noise. John Kipping -- Original Me

You can get copper or steel rings cut at a metal slitting company--they use a variety of technologies to cut patterns. No idea of the cost. You could also try a fly cutter, I've used them to make alu
