copper gasket custom made

O.K., here's the skinny. I just had a nice chat with Lani Visconti from Copper Gaskets Unlimited. Very nice fellow. I'm going to start out by sending him DXF CAD files of the 610 and 820 head gaskets. He cuts them on the CNC mill, meaning he can stack his sheet stock and cut five or so gaskets at a crack. Guys with Bonbright engines generally use .032 gaskets, as Dave decks the blocks to suit this thickness. I'm going to send the files in the next two or three days, and he'll tell us the cost per gasket. It sounds as though they'll be reasonable in price. We can figure from this what thicknesses we may need for our engines. If the idea works out, I can make CAD files of other gaskets for our vintage engines. Thanks to Dave Luciani for turning me onto this resource.  Ted
