head gaskets
I tried the copper gaskets on a small block. They did not work. Leaked everywhere. I bought a set of laminated aluminum gaskets and they work great. No leaks. I've reused them a couple of time and still no leaks. I like them.

P.S.
The header gasket worked so well that I bought a sheet of laminated aluminum (.048) and made my sidepipes to header gaskets. I made a pair for Lainhart's 427 Unique this summer. We have 180 miles on it so far but will not know about the gasket for a long time. Mine has 5,000 or 6,000 miles on them and are holding up to the pressure of a small block. (insert smillie face)
