Copper Gasket
We supply custom made copper gaskets for engine heads. The copper provides the following benefits:
- Copper is the standard by which all other conductors are measured, therefore a copper gasket provides superior thermal conductivity, acting to stabilize head & block temperatures which makes tuning easier.
- 25% coefficient of elasticity. One of the properties of copper is that it stretches Before a catastrophic failure, thereby providing an extra measure of safety in case of severe detonation.
- Copper (in the form we use) has a tensile strength of approximately 2206 bar,compare this to the 82 to 100 bar tensile of most facing materials used on conventional performance head gaskets.
