Opinions On Head Gaskets

Now, I don’t know much about anything, but my concern would be that the copper gasket shims do not appear to have the embossing that is present on the steel gaskets.

makes me wonder if all the embossing getting crushed is what is supposed to provide the sealing integrity.

I did not use them. They are "just" spacers and not head gaskets. I used the Mr Gasket steel embossed head gaskets, which IS a real head gasket. Jesus man, didn't you read the whole thread. You're supposed to know everything already. You sure you ain't a false prophet?
