BEST Gasket is the leading name in
sealing performance in the restoration industry. Image shown is an
actual factory supplied picture.
Best copper cylinder head
gaskets consist of two outer sheets of a generously thick .010" copper
and a low-density graphite “filler” sheet. This high-quality graphite
sheet is superior to asbestos, which was used in the old days, and far
superior to the non-asbestos materials found in other manufacturers'
modern copper head gaskets. Excellent torque retention is achieved by
using superior materials. Best copper gaskets are definitely
“old-school” but with a modern flair for better performance. They are
such works of art, we almost hate to sell them!
TECH NOTE:
When installing a Best copper head gasket, use a spray-on sealant like
K&W Copper Coat or Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket and always
re-torque; no short-cuts.
