[Shotimes] Curious on headwork, valve job worth it on this car? SLIDES?

[Kenneth Epperly]

Copper and aluminum do not get a long very well on the corrosion front. The 
reason that the gasket are a composite with a Teflon ( or other non stick) 
coating, this is because aluminum will expand long before the cast iron 
block will. Why do you want to use copper?

        imho, Ken
