head gasket

hello people; I'm not much of a shopper and I need a HG soon. I'd like to find a place that has everything as I need some other stuff. Any comments?
Also a copper would be preferred because you can reuse it?

Usually best not to re-use a head gasket of any kind, imo.

I don't know if it might be possible to successfully anneal a used copper head gasket.

Is it for certain that the head gasket is leaking?

Good Fortune!

hello Patton; My head is off and I'll need one for reassembly. I'm going to start a new thread on what's happening with it.

If you are not racing then go for a fibre gasket as it should be years between changes if all else is well with the rest of engine on initial assembly.
The copper gasket needs the barrel tops piano wiring to ensure a good gas tight seal and spray on sealer before assembly.
They are also prone to oil weepage around the outer studs .
We only use them for racing because of the frequent maintenance schedule (measured in running hours or drag strip passes) needed to keep the engine at it's best, they can be re-used ( re-annealed and flipped over ) and retain a constant thickness for consistent squish and compression figures.
