'Sarcasm' is in the 'S's'.
I didn't find any irony there.
:delete:
Why bother......a second explanation that requires a better understanding of English than did the first (which fell on deaf ears) is senseless.
Good luck on your gaskets.

Way back in the day when we kids were fooling with Briggs & Stratton powered go-carts we developed cutting edge technology to boost the compression of a 3 1/2 hp motor.
Headgaskets made from a piece of notebook paper sandwiched between 2 pieces of tinfoil. We'd make the sandwich first and glue it together with hair spray then cut the gasket.
Worked fine!
I don't see why a thin copper gasket wouldn't work. Seems like a lot of work and trouble for a part that is pretty reasonably priced, especially when part of a set.
Then again, I've relined brake shoes with glue and asbestos gasket material.

r1inoz... I too, work with sheet metal. 16ga thru 3/8 plate. MS or SS. Considered making my own, but thought it would be better to buy new ones because of the RB head mod that is coming my way. Trying to keep it together (motor) with the best parts availible. No offence!

A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.

better check the ol dictionary for the definition of irony while your at it
and yes we do have sarcasm we just dont use it when ppl are asking legit questions and get answers about homemade ferraris
And here I thought the Aussies were hard as nails and rugged while it was the 'Brits who were supposed to snivel about feelings and what not?
