Default Re: (Best) copper head gasket and offenhauser aluminum heads

Aussie Merc has given you great advice. Pistonbroke backed that up. Please, do yourself a favor and listen to these guys.

That small hole in the gasket was a design change that I believe happened right around 1946. Ford figured out that if the coolant was slowed down in that rear hole, the engine cooled better.
