I don't think this topic has been discussed before, if it was, my appologies in advance. One of the reasons why our headgaskets fail is the material used to manufacture them, not being able to withstand prolonged periods of heat ( correct me if iam wrong).
If we had custom metal/steel headgaskets made, would that solve the issue?

these guys manufacture custom headgaskets.
I noticed some of you have mentioned copper headgaskets. Those of you who have used it, did you have any problems with it so far?
My prelude had a steel hadgasket in the H22 motor. Due to a sticky thermostat it the temp was going up and down like a yo yo. But the headgasket never blew. I raped that motor, always redlining it for 50,000km. It still ran strong b4 i traded it in. So Iam thinking, if we get a steel headgasket made, our legends motors will be a bit more reliable.
What do you guys think?
