Hi i was wondering if anyone ou there is running the copper head gaskets? Also does anyone have any opinions on them? I dont have my block o ringed, but i did spray the reccomended copper coat on the gaskets. Am i asking for a blown head gasket or should it be fine?

even if the block isnt o-ringed? will i blow a head gasket easily?

are the gaskets for an o-ringed motor?

They are designed for blocks using studs.
Anyway most of them I've seen for sale are quite thick (.062-.082) I think that they would decrease the compression somewhat.
Also, I'm under the idea that they are for blower motors..
