| − | SCE Gaskets makes copper head gaskets with coolant and oil passage seals bonded to the sealing surfaces of the head gaskets. These built in seals eliminate the need for additional sealants, these head gaskets are installed dry and there are two versions available, for engines with machined o-ring combustion seals or for those without o-rings. The copper head gasket offered by SCE for engines without machined o-rings includes both coolant seals and an Integral Combustion Seal which eliminates the need to have o-ring grooves machined into the block or heads. Development of these head gaskets allow users to exploit the benefits of of copper, wide range of thicknesses, superior strength, superior combustion sealing, conformability to deck surfaces and superior heat conductivity, with none of the prior disadvantages of 'old fashioned' copper head gaskets. | + | SCE Gaskets makes copper head gaskets with coolant and oil passage seals bonded to the sealing surfaces of the head gaskets.
