copper head gaskets tend to leak around the water jackets, so just watch out when your sealing it.
ive got a v.r.s kit for a g200 dohc if your interested. $100 in newcastle |

Have you been in touch with Ridge-Crest Engineering ? They make copper gaskets for almost anything and can also custom make ones for you in any thickness you need. They advertise in Hot 4's and Fast Fours.

| Standard copper gaskets leak around the water jackets. But mine has been annealed, which stops the leaks. |

| ??? How does annealing stop the leaking. Annealing is a heat treatment process applied to relieve the material of internal stresses. |

| I dont know. But if somebody at a gasket company says it needs to be annealed to stop the water jackets leaking I'll believe him. |
