What is your experience of using solid copper head gaskets?
Are they just as good as ST205 'steel' gasket?
Tried asking on UK forum but not a single answer so I guess it is uncharted territory here in UK.
Car is a standard ST185 with currently blown gasket and our vintage guys get solid copper gaskets cut using water-jet technology and they seem OK.
No plans to increase boost (yet) so should I get a mate in the US to bring over a copper one?
(Or possibly send a pattern to the UK water-jet firm and get a batch manufactured).
