[s-cars] 825.mm bore head gaskets out there?

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Ya, I'm not convinced that the copper HG is the way to go without o-ringing which I don't plan on doing, maybe I need to, check out these guys, much better prices than paeco:

Has anyone used a copper gasket on an I5 sucessfully without o-ringing or otherwise?  I'd be interested to hear the results.  In the ND turbo kits we developed a copper sandwhich between two stock gaskets and that worked well, but never just by itself so I don't have the experience doing so.
