Subject: [TR] Copper v Steel Fig “8”

Just received my 87mm pistons and liners from TRF, the package included steel figure eight gaskets, my gasket kit from TRF included copper ones.  Is there any consensus as to which is preferred?
Thanks,

You should measure the liner protrusion with one or the other installed. In 
my case I found the figure 8's were different thickness. Use the figure 8's 
that result in your liner protrusion being within spec.

Since these gaskets have to make a seal, I have always preferred the copper
ones.  I know some people use sealer with the steel ones, but I have no
experience with them.

I've used both , never had an issue with either material. I do put a very 
light smear of sealer on them.

What Jerry said.  I've had the same experience - different thicknesses.
