− | ::::Would care to address ''all'' of my statements/questions of 3 May 2012 (and now below), or is your focus going to be just that motor oil dissolves/degrades graphite? Because if that is the case (that motor oil will "surely react with graphite"), and that reaction is such that a '''''head gasket''''' made of/with graphite would be adversely affected by exposure to motor oil during the expected lifespan of a "normal" head gasket, it seems to me that a graphite head gasket might not be such a great idea. So my question to you is, "do you stand by your statement [[Head gasket#Graphite head gasket|here]]", and if you do, are you basing it on empirical evidence or "other" reports? If the source is "other" reports (and is different than the article you cited earlier), I'd appreciate it if you would supply a link- because frankly, I do not read into the article you cited that the graphite head gaskets are anything more than a possible substitute for other gaskets that do the same job as well for less money w/the possible exceptions of applications not yet in service.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 14:20, 11 May 2012 (MDT) | + | :::::The article has been edited to reflect what I believe best describes graphite head gaskets as far as their effectiveness at this point of their development. If info comes to light that changes this, either pro or con, the article can be updated to reflect this.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 21:26, 21 May 2012 (MDT) |
