HarryTitus Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hey, I am overhauling the 200 CID six cylinder in my '65 Mustang. I damaged the new head gasket and had to order a new one. When it arrived it was a one piece stamped all metal gasket. What's up with that? Are these any good? Thanks! Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY93SHO Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Pretty much standard on modern engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B. Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Good choice, those were used in lieu of milling heads, were a very thin copper replacement. Use gasket spray when installing, the idea was to raise compression ratios. Supposedly head bolts are only good for one time because they stretch and change torque references, I never had any trouble reusing and over torquing even on turbo motor. Never blew another head gasket after, only thing that lasted lol. Yes, those started out with the 170CID sixes and wasn’t enough power, have seen 4 cylinder Camaros too. Always something out there much worse. Edited September 19, 2019 by Rich B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
