Head gasket

There are several manufacturers of copper head gaskets. Copper gaskets come in many thicknesses, and in most cases are reusable. Among them is [http://www.scegaskets.com/page/sitemap.html SCE Gaskets], who makes the Titan ICS (Integral Combustion Seal) copper head gasket with coolant and oil passage seals bonded to the sealing surfaces of the head gasket. These built-in seals eliminate the need for additional sealants. These head gaskets are installed dry and there are two versions available: one for engines with machined O-ring combustion seals and one for those without O-rings. The copper head gasket offered by SCE for engines without machined O-rings includes both coolant seals and and the Integral Combustion Seal which eliminates the need to have O-ring grooves machined into the block or heads. These head gaskets allow engine builders to exploit the benefits of of copper, such as the wide range of thicknesses, superior strength, superior combustion sealing, conformability to deck surfaces and superior heat conductivity, with none of the prior disadvantages of 'old fashioned' copper head gaskets.
