Using copper head gasket?

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Je Pro Seal headgaskets

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

I don't believe that will work. That's a MLS.

An o-ring needs a maleable surface to press into. Which is a copper gasket.

You may ruin the o-ring if you use an MLS and torque it down onto that o-ring.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

You are correct it is a mls gasket yes. It accually does not ruin the o rings itself
Alot of people run mls head gaskets with o rings and is accually recommended by some of the best subaru shops in the US

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

And any wire will cocentrate the clamp load making a better seal. Many people use a copper oring with an mls gasket so something deforms. The phusions are near because they have a gas filled wire already in them. The gas in the wire makes them compressible. If the head lifts the oring will be able to grow a bit and maintain seal.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Just trying to help. Hope it works out for you. Not something I would do or suggest.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Its been proven to work plenty of times im not to worried thanks for the suggestions !!

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Update on the Subaru, well the engine and everything is in. Waiting on a couple more small parts to come this week then it will be time to start. More updates to come after breakin.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Started the car for the first time in 2 years and it was definitely a relief. Its 100% done and ready to rock we get it on the rollers this coming Thursday.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Hell yea! Good luck on the dyno!

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Little update now since the car has been running. Put up on the dyno and we maxed out my single walbro 450 intank pump. Car put out just shy of 600 whp at 485 tq. The car is no were near its full potential at this power level but just cant push it more with my fuel setup. This winter i plan on adding a surge tank along with dss axles all around with a triple disk clutch. Then we should be able to make some real power.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Ringlands in tact....tranny is holding up... Id call that some good streetable power...but if ya want more keep gunning!

David,

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Can confirm car spools very well, with insane transient response. Lol awesome sounds too.

Re: 2011 Sti Build ?
 

Damn good power! Nicely done, what are you going to push it to with a new pump?
