Copper head gasket or black composite head gasket better for a 1275?

    The composite one I had started leaking coolant before I had even started the engine, copper one I fitted after worked fine. I'd go copper! Just make sure the mating faces are perfect

    Built a few engines with the 450 gasket. No issues. Preparation is the key to a good gasket change.

    Do not use BGA head gaskets and if you use Payen purchase the Head Gasket separate as the ones that come in the Head Gasket sets are not of the same quality. That is our findings. The BK450 is a great gasket :)
