Can anyone give me any info on copper head gaskets to suit the rover v8 4.6 litre 94mm bore, ie how much do they cost and where are they available from,what results does anyone get by using these?, cheers David.

Why not just use factory 4.6 gaskets, that work, and are cheap ?

Ive never used a solid copper gasket, but any time Ive enquired, they have all said they are not a good idea for an engine that is road driven, as often they leak a little.

They must also be hot re-torqued after running.
