I'm not positive, but I've been told that the Cometic gaskets have
to be coated with anti-seize to make them work.
The anti-seize is supposed to make everything move/slide with
thermal change.

Just wondering. I don't remember coating steal gaskets with
anything. You just put them on the car, did the tourque down,
test ran it, retourqed everything, drove and did the retorqeu
thing in a few thousand miles just to be sure. It's been a long
time (1980's) have gaskets changed that much?

if they were thinner that'd really be the icing on

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.

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.
