they do make gaskets .030"

The advantage from what I hear is they
have a superior seal. Now if they were thinner that'd really be
the icing on the cake. However, I have the Fel-Pro's and they
work fine too. So I'd opt not to spend the money unless there
was an increase in CR.

Well I thought
Cometic advertised they would make gaskets for almost
anything.
I have looked and I haven't seen the 318 poly listed, but
they may be available.
You'd probably have to call them. 440.352.0100
Looks like .040" is a common thickness. So I'm not sure
they would help you with compression.

Can we get
Cometic steel gaskets? I think they would be great
but I never figured they would be available for
our poly's. What thickness would they be? Where
could we get them? The metal ones I had were .024"
I believe and the Fel-Pro are about .042ish.

I'm not
sure of the thickness of the steel or the
Fel-Pro gaskets you used or are considering,
but have you ever considered Cometic steel
gaskets?

Well I have LeRoar all apart
again or rather still. I think I
just didn't install the metal
gaskets properly. The Copper Coat
did not adhere to any surface well
at all. It actually seemed to make
the whole thing slippery and slimy
instead. I think there was actually
a coating on the metal gaskets
already. They were yellowish but I
thought the Copper Coat would still
be in order. Too bad there weren't
any directions with the gaskets.
I will install my trusty old
Fel-Pro composites this time and not
worry about it. The new CR will be
9.1 and that will be very fuel
friendly. It's also a half point
better then before anyway. I'm
including some pictures of the
dis-assembly.
I gotta say the steam cleaning
sure spruced it up.
One picture shows the exhaust
leak. This was spitting water
because it was coming from the
cylinder and not the bolt. After
re-tightening the exhaust bolts this
had stopped. I have found some
exhaust bolts loosen after getting
up to temp the first time. Even a
ways down the road they may need
tightening again.
