Subject: Coper head gaskets
Hello listers,
Does anyone know if a company makes copper head gaskets for the Triumph
1300? If anyone does, do they come in different thicknesses?
Thanks in advance

I do know of a company that makes copper head gaskets for Triumph
engines. But I wonder why you want one. My experience is that they are
practically impossible to keep from leaking. When I tore down my 1300
race engine to install in my street car, I discovered that while I was
getting good power from the engine, the head gasket showed signs of
leakage around all 4 cylinders. And that was with compression far less
than the 13.5:1 that I have seen people do.
But IF you want one, contact Morty Dunst at http://www.headgasket.com/
He'll fix you right up.
Joe
P.S. I'll sell you the one I took off my engine...cheap!
