SICP has a sale on Asbestos (the good ones but don't tell the EPA this)
Head gaskets. $2.83 each or something like that. Not $3. I just ordered
a few.
They also list the head set (decoke set) for just under $6! Yup, I
ordered a few of them too. Ring gears for $21, the list goes on. I spent
a bunch of money this morning on parts I don'r need but have to have at
those prices.
And FWIW, the high preformance, high dollar copper head gaskets always
blow out for me. I went back to good old asbestos, they last and hold up
to high compression.
As for the asbestos dust, I used to cut asbestos shingles with a
circular saw, so touching stuff like asbestos brakes and head gaskets
dosn't really bother me.
