Welcome once again to another Thursday. The work week is just about over, and it’s that time of the week when we open the Chevy Hardcore vault, take a step back in time, and locate an article that you guys might have either forgotten about, or might not even know exists. Whichever the case, we are certain that you will enjoy this editorial flashback.

I decided that this week, we should jump in the way back machine and take a look all the way back to 2016. Okay, that’s not “way back”, but I digress. Anyway, we will be visiting an article written by Mike Magda, and it’s one that seems to help a lot of people: Head Gasket Tech: The Pros And Cons Of Copper And MLS.

In an attempt to help you choose the right head gaskets, this article talks about the pros and cons of each type of gasket. Does one have any comprehensible benefits above the other? To get the info., Mike spoke with Ryan Hunter of SCE Gaskets, Kevin Kistner of Cometic Gaskets, and Dave Livesey of Borowski Racing Engines.

When it comes to the use of copper head gaskets, do you know when they were first employed? Mike found out, and you can too by reading the article. You probably understand that a copper head gasket could seep or leak coolant, but Tom Nelson of Nelson Racing Engine has found a way to stop that issue.

According to Kevin, there is no straight-up dividing line on the horsepower chart. “You have to look at cylinder pressures and overall abuse.”

So, if you’re getting ready or even assembling your latest engine build, check out Head Gasket Tech: Pros & Cons of MLS and Copper. You will surely get some valuable information, and might just save yourself some time and money by avoiding a costly mistake.
