I was examining the copper gasket I removed yesterday and I'm getting skeptical of these things being able to seal up tightly. The SCE ones are pretty hard and I'm not seeing any sign of crush and it looks like the engine side with the concave portion of the rolled bead is probably not sealing well. Keith ported and polished the heads and I'm not too sure the exhaust ports aren't a little oversize. I'm not sure gaskets are my issue but I think I will try something else and see what happens (if anything).
