I thought I could get a good argument started on the subject of head gaskets.
AH Spares recently announced that they are offering multi-layered all steel
head gaskets for Healeys. Suitable for both competition & street engines and
aluminum heads to cast iron or aluminum blocks. Presumably, also cast iron
heads, but the ad did not state that.
I know they are not alone in offering improved head gaskets.
Being a cynic, I have to wonder if steel gaskets are really better that copper
gaskets or are they just cheaper to manufacture?
Being an engineer, I have to wonder if a steel gasket is really a good choice
for an aluminum head, especially in the sealing ring area around the cylinders?
