Last year I used the Summit .043 thick copper head gaskets. I used the Permatex 'Right Stuff' around the water holes, I remember someone here mentioning that it may not seal with the right stuff. Well, it didn't. The block has o-rings in it but no o-rings or receiver grooves in the heads. The Summit copper gaskets had a nice consistent ring around them from the o-rings in the block, but the right stuff sealer looked like it never hardened or sealed. Water would kinda lightly run down the sides of my block after a run down the track.

So should I try these Summit gaskets($80 a pair) again with a different sealer or just buy the SCE Titan copper gaskets that have the correct sealer around the water holes already?

The Titans are $127 a pair and require either the block or head to be o-ringed, it does not say they both have to be o-ringed.

The SCE Titans are out of my price range and don't require any o-rings since the o-rings are embedded in the gasket itself.

So does anyone run the regular Titans? Do they seal?
