What is the source for copper HG's?

 

I can't seem to remember.

 

Also... what sealant am I to use?

Ask Corky, he may have gotten a couple of sets when he did his.

the shop is in southern cali. i emailed with the folks there and they "stopped making the gasket sealant and sent the recipe to some folks that do MG's and other makes as he said he didn't have time to do it for every order." i never heard from the folks as i requested order info from their 800 number and email site.... maybe, just maybe I'll remember before tomorrow?????

He did, here is a site, http://www.headgasket.com/whoweare.html . I made contact with this guy a few years ago, I think he still has the digital data that Skip created for him.

 

There is no sealant needed with copper head gaskets, but if you feel you need one, Permatex makes a copper based head gasket sealer, that one should work fine.

and for another source is www.paeco.com cause in their catalog they say that they can do copper HG's

Yea, but do they do Subaru head gasket?? Last time I checked the answer was no.

what I remember reading is yes they can as long as you have a design or a HG they can use as a template

What thickness should I run?? With or without the the steel oring around the cylinder??

Like corky said, http://www.headgasket.com/whoweare.html is the place.

 

Go with the stock thickness of .043 to maintain compression...could go thinner if you wanted...

.043... with the steel cylinder rings? or without?

I did mine w/out...but...maybe it would be better to have those.

Got some prices...

 

$90 for the set.

 

Steel cylinder rings are $15 a piece extra. This potentially makes the gasket a one use only...

 

Complete set w/rings for $150 + sealant (I think its $15).

A purchased a set of Subaru head gaskets from Paeco a while back for my 1997 2.2ltr Impreza. It can't hurt to call them and ask if they have it for your particular model.

I really don't think they would do one subaru and not another, they're not THAT different. but you may have to send them a stock set

Yea, I knew that they had them for the EJ series engines, but we are talking about the EA82 series here and they didn't have them for those engines.
