head gaskets

[timsiford at hushmail.com]

Actually, if you have aluminum heads then 1010s is the way to go because 
they won't brinnel(sp?) the heads as compared to other similar type gaskets. 
 The 1010s have the preflattened copper wire ring surrounded with a stainless 
steel sheeth.  Other similar gaskets don't have the preflattened copper 
wire ring inside the SS sheath.
