I was using 060 copper gaskets, Combo- 540" KB aluminium O-Ringed Block,4.3760 bore,440-1 Indy heads,15 to 1 compression,NA motor, on Racing Gas, I have had water leakage problems in the past. Is there something better out there? 240" Mopar 540 Dragster 7.80 ET, 63 Dodge N/SS 500"

Since your o-ringed at the block have reciever grooves installed in the heads and add Ultracopper silicone around all the water holes(both sides) and you shoul be fine.Cometic MLS gaskets work best if you don't o-ring.
