I told them i had an aluminum head and block, but the copper just didnt seat at all and leaked right away.
The second time, i used this stuff called 3 bond the gaskets lasted two months before it started leaking. Both times the gaskets leaked, not blown, but leak in the cyl.
Either the copper wasent soft enough or the imprints that the stock gaskets have, should be made on the copper ones. Hussy did tell me that the copper was the same they use for all other aluminum block and head engines.

Thank you for that Dv8. People cant get the idea that the engine itself isn't prone to blow headgaskets left and right.
the Copper just didn't seal.
the stock headgaskets are FINE people
even with boost, you just need to take care of the damn car. if you treat it like a piece of sh*t you're going to get treated like a piece of sh*t. understand that.
since you've had the stock gaskets in there C, you haven't had a single problem from them have you?
and please understand im not flamin anyone here...
It's just in the last 3 years this sites been run i've been tryin to atleast spread knowlege that the car isn't prone to headgasket failure, it's prone to age failure...age bring about abad things in ALL cars, once fixed headgaskets dont go again unless you did a shady job...
However, against ALLL my damn sayin this, people dont seem to hear it. i got approached by some dude the other day talkin about he like Legends but he's read they are prone to headgasket failure....i wonder where he got that idea...
