I emailed this guy and he said that he could make a set of ea81 hg out of copper for $190.Is that a good price?Maybe if others need them we could get a group deal?Here is his reply.Seems very willing to help.

Jerry-

We can make you copper a copper gasket. The cost will be $190. It will

take about 2 days to make. If you would like us to go ahead and get started

on it, just let us know.

Not to rain on your parade, but with the trouble a few board members have had with running Cu HG's, why exactly would one want to do this?

For higher compression. I was worried that the stock HG wouldn't take it if I nocked 50 thou off of each head along with ea71 pistons.That's why.I am figuring with that much off of each head I would sit somewhere close to 11:1.BTW I already realize the stock intake won't bolt up.

 

Anyone know if the stock HG will take the kind of compression I am talking about?I know Qman built a strong ea81 maybe I should ask him.
