I noticed an article in the April edition of Real Classic on head gaskets (pp 106 - 108).
The gist suggested was to trim the gasket to leave behind only "essential" areas, hence maximising contact pressure in these critical areas - not completely unlike, in effect, Jim Schmidt's idea of glueing 0.005" wire to both sides of the gasket.
The picture below shows before and after shots of a Royal Enfield Super Meteor gasket.
Has anyone tried this with Norton twins copper head gaskets?
If so - any comments on results?
Cheers
