I wondered if copper coat would work.

Since no water is involved, all copper head gaskets work great. We've been using them on the Bonneville Honda for years with great success. PM me if you have interest in getting one and I'll see what sort of bulk deal I can arrange.

I just read my post and realized it wasn't that clear - I'm talking about head gaskets made from one piece of copper with no other gasket material involved.

jpro, your Bonneville Honda sounds interesting, where do I go to see what you have done? Pictures/info.
Good idea with the copper gasket.
Do you get them laser cut or water jet?
A cheap way for a batch run.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure they were water cut, but I could be wrong.

Nice job on the car. Like the ignition system and fuel injection.
Are you in a stock under 700cc class? I didn't think you could modify the car that much without going into the unlimited class.
Bonneville would be so cool to go watch or run.

The class is actually limited to 750cc, and since newer production cars can run EFI, they allow older cars to. (There is a "classic" production class for larger displacement - carbs or mechanical fuel injection only.)
My sponsor was only comfortable pushing things to 700cc. I'm pretty sure that 750cc has been done on a stock stroke, but it makes for very thin cylinder walls. There are also some issues with space for sealing the head gasket.
The two main parts of the production class is having the "stock" block, and the body having the stock configuration.
Bonneville is quite an experience. You can really get up close and "look under the hood" of most of the cars. People are really friendly, like to answer questions. If anyone out there plans on running a vehicle, I highly advise attending once to spectate. Get a feel for the process, environment, rules, etc..
And of course if anyone plans on going out to spectate, let me know. If I'm out there I'm happy to share my pits and perhaps show you around.

Wow, that is some open rules.
The "Stock block" really opens it up for a 4 valve head design!
Maybe Re-sleeve the block, offset wider so you can bore it out to 750.
So many high tech engines out today to take parts from.
I would love to go see the cars run.
The worlds fastest Indian was a cool movie!
