Head Gaskets?

[Pete]

Johnny this was 3 years ago when i looked into it,i was not ready to dish out
that kind of coin it was cheaper to stock up on GM gaskets.

The way this would work is the registry or someone trust worthy to collect the money and do the legwork for a small fee.
I think Lee could do this i can help.

So if we order 1000 gaskets 500 sets it comes out to $35 each gasket.
After that they will cost $10 a set.

I brought this up a while ago but fell on death ears so i stocked up on head gaskets.
I also had expressed concern on bearings a while back also fell on death ears then the whiners came out cause they had to pay almost $1k for bearings that cost $15 to produce.

So for those that are interested raise your hands.

Otherwise you will be paying $500-$1000 for gaskets from the other guy and i don't wanna hear the whiners.

I have plenty heads gaskets for
(1) last me 2 life times
or
(2) make me lots of money

I think MLS will work with the closed deck but majority of LT5's are open deck the other question is who will test them,i don't think any of the boys here will test them on there big $$$ closed decks.

I'll take some.

In the meantime until someone steps up and re-makes these gaskets, i propose this. I'll send Jerry 10 LH gaskets @ $50.00 and Pete, you send Jerry 10 sets of the RH gaskets @ $50.00 each, that way everyone wins. I've got plenty of LH gaskets and you've got 30 + RH, will this work?

Copper seems to be an alternative when its set up right:

Copper sucks. Hate it. P.I.A. . I'd be Ssooo desperate before I'd use Copper on anything.

O.K.! ....Just kidding, I'm done . I did talk to Fel-Pro a while back, I know/deal a couple guys there, they did tell me as Jerry said about Fel-Pro buying Goertze. They said they didn't know or have plans to produce those gaskets anytime soon, if at all, but they do have the tooling for them, they thought anyways .

Are the rubber coated copper one's any better? Flatout has them if they are.

no, copper is known for water/oil leaks..

I would agree that I have heard the same of copper, but I would doubt any of the companies above would put a head gasket in that was prone to failure. If I have time to call today, will call Norwood and see if they have had issues.

I might have found a solution for our gaskets, anyone have an old one?
