Steel Shim Head Gaskets
Ford Muscle Parts used to offer a steel shim head gasket, C3AZ-6051-B that claimed to raise compression by 1/2 point because it was so thin. .050 for standard gasket vs. less than .030 for the steel shims. (I'm reading directly from a Muscle Parts catalog).
Anyone used this lately? Is it still available? How about leaks? Thanks. -Michael Bernica |
Those are old school Michael, difficult to keep sealed; leaks were a common problem. New materials far outpace the steel shim gaskets.
