Default Performance Gasket Material

Here is a trick i do on all my engines.
I use disposable cookie sheets 2 for $1.19.
Very thin aluminum easy to cut and form and i havent blown one yet.
For the price you can make alot of gaskets.

Pull the jug gasket and the head gasket and replace with these and you'll see a good performance gain.

Also use the side of a plastic pen to press the gasket arond the edges to form to the shape of the motor.
Then you know the gasket won't move during assembly.

Check out my Jug Gasket.
