Yeah, I know... "use Cometic" and I did, but do I really need all that jazz for a NA street engine that goes to the track a few times a year? C'mon.

What about composite gaskets that have a pre-flattened copper wire fire ring.
The idea being, all the conformability and ease of installation of a plain old composite gasket, but with a copper fire ring instead of steel, so it won't damage your aluminum heads.
This sounds like a nice idea.

Is this strictly a Ford and Chevy thing or have they ever been available for Mopars?
I can't find anything which kind of leads me down the "negative" path. Alot of times we take what we can get.

I know several builders here work on all brands, and can tell me something about them? (maybe they're not the best to begin with? No idea. But I like the concept)
