If you're talking about Headgaskets, I would only run MLS from Cometic.

If you're talking about the copper exhaust gasket, they can be had from Summit for about $20, IIRC.

The copper head gaskets work just fine; however they are not as strong as the Cometic or any multiple layered steel gasket, on a stock block and head.

Becasue the copper is so malable they need to be used with steel O Rings in the Block or head to hold the copper seal around the cylinder.

Stick with a bullet proof Cometic.

AHH, the cometic sounds like the way to go then. Where's the best place to purchase from?
